CEO Commitment

Promoting CSR Management to Sustain a Safe, Secure and Comfortable Society

Our world today faces diverse social issues attendant with population growth, aging societies, fast growing demand for energy and shortages ofnatural resources, and global environmental problems. Toshiba Group is determined to actively contribute to solutions to these problems, and tosupport realization of the safe, secure and comfortable society of the Human Smart Community. Towards this end, Toshiba Group itself mustachieve steady and sustainable growth.

In order to realize Toshiba Group's unique strategy for Growth through Creativity and Innovation, we will lay down solid foundations to promoteCSR management, strong enough to support management policies that enhance business through value creation and productivity improvement.With this in mind, I will promote policies that develop diverse, talented, and creative global human resources.

Toshiba’s Vision

Toshiba Group Management Policy Vision

Meeting the Expectations of Our Many Stakeholders

To push forward with CSR management, my primary concerns as President and CEO are to bring together the concerted abilities of ToshibaGroup’s 200,000 employees, and to ensure that we place the highest priority on human life, safety and compliance. This will support uscollaborating with all of our stakeholders and contributing to the achievement of a sustainable society through our business activities. Recently,we have worked with independent third parties to review issues and strategies to focus on in future, and we have identified human rights, supplychain CSR management and environmental issues as CSR-related issues crucial to our further globalization.

We believe that, as a global company, we are obliged to reinforce CSR initiatives in respect of human rights, labor, occupational health andsafety, the environment and ethics. This concern covers not only group companies but extends to the suppliers in our worldwide supply chain.Acting on this conviction, we joined the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC)*1, an electronic industry CSR promotion organization, inJune 2011, and are promoting CSR management in line with the objectives of EICC’s code of conduct. We recognize the conflict mineralsoriginating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and adjoining countries as a serious human rights issue. We have responded with Group-wide policies to require the use of conflict free minerals, and are requesting our suppliers to cooperate and provide sourcing information.

In support of climate change mitigation and tackling other environmental problems, we are implementing measures based on the long-termgoals defined in the Environmental Vision 2050, and on near-term targets defined in our Environmental Action Plan. In the high-priority areas forthe four Green Initiatives*2, we have set FY2015 goals at higher levels than our competitors. In FY2013, we released T-COMPASS*3 a powerfulconcept for further developing and expanding our environmental management. This visibly represents important and urgent worldwideenvironmental issues—minimization of natural resource consumption (Natural resources); mitigation of climate change (Energy); reduction ofchemical substance risk (Substance); and minimization of water consumption (Water)—as the four cardinal compass points, N, E, S and W. T-COMPASS is supporting our concerted Group-wide efforts to identify key problems and find solutions.

Through FY2013, we have continued to support the restoration of Northeast Japan from the devastating effects of the major earthquake andtsunami that stuck the region on March 11, 2011. We will continue these efforts by focusing on three core themes: human resourcedevelopment, recovery of local industries, and rebuilding communities. At the same time, we continue to cooperate in the stabilization anddecommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.

CSR Management Supported by 200,000 Employees

I believe it is important for each and every one of Toshiba Group’s 200,000 employees to fully understand the need for compliance, to contributeto the local community, and to carry out their responsibilities with a keen sensitivity to the expectations of our stakeholders. In 2004, ToshibaGroup signed the United Nations Global Compact, which defines basic principles regarding human rights, labor, the environment and anti-corruption. To bring the spirit of the Compact into our daily business activities, we established the Toshiba Group Standards of Conduct, whichdefine the values and code of conduct that must be observed by all Toshiba Group executives and employees.

As part of our efforts to encourage and promote corporate citizenship activities at all group companies, we created a corporate citizenshipawards program, the Toshiba “ASHITA” Awards, in 2005. In FY2013, we received 1,616 nominations for the awards. In FY2013, in addition tothe existing corporate citizenship award, we created a new award for contributions to solving social problems through business.

We are also working to raise the environmental consciousness of individual employees. For example, on June 5, World Environment Day, weheld Toshiba Group Global Environmental Action events, in which Toshiba Group employees in countries around the world conductedenvironmental activities in unison.

I will continue to take the lead in concentrating the energy of the 200,000-plus people working for Toshiba Group around the world, to make it agroup of companies that provides new value to customers and contributes to society on an ongoing basis, and in which each company worksvigorously to achieve significant results. As I do so, I would greatly appreciate your continued support and cooperation.

Process of Materiality Identification

In FY2013, in addition to a self-evaluation based on ISO 26000, we also took into consideration a third-party activity review to identify high-priority

themes from an objective perspective and deepened the common understanding of ISO 26000 among Toshiba Group members.

Identification of materialities (key issues)

Incorporating the themes into CSR management

Self-evaluation based on the ISO 26000 core subjectsBy using an evaluation tool, related corporate divisions performed self-evaluation based on the items (345) of the seven ISO 26000 core subjects: organizational governance, human rights, labor practices, the environment, fair operating practices, consumer issues and community involvement and development.

Review result report from a third-party organization

Process

2Based on the results of self-evaluation performed with reference to ISO 26000 core subjects, a third-party organization conducted a CSR activity review targeting 12 related corporate divisions through interviews and evidence check. At the end of the review, we received a review report prepared by the third-party organization from an objective perspective.

By using the 345 items of ISO 26000 core subjects and by taking into consideration the activity review by the third-party organization in addition to stakeholders’ opinions, we listed themes (figure on the right) in the general order of high, medium and low priority based on the levels of impact on stakeholders’ decision making and on Toshiba Group’ s business activities.As a result, we identified the following three themes as materialities (high-priority themes) for FY2013: respect for human rights, CSR management in the supply chain and environmental management.

The identified materialities were discussed at the CSR Roundtable held once every half year by CSR officers and corporate division managers and were incorporated into the CSR management cycle by setting KPIs after being approved by the roundtable members.

Respect for Human RightsWe make it our management principles to respect human rights and we put an emphasis on human rights in promotingour business activities.

Human Rights Policy

The “Toshiba Group Standards of Conduct” provide a basis for acting with respect for basic human

rights and individual diversity. In addition, as part of our procurement policy, we request our

suppliers to also consider human rights.

Identifying human rights risks

We have assessed human rights risks related to our business activities based on ISO 26000. In

FY2013, we performed an assessment of human rights risks based on the United Nations Guiding

Principles on Business and Human Rights in cooperation with Business for Social Responsibility

(BSR), a US-based CSR promotion organization.

Employee training in respect for human rights

In addition to implementing the Standards of Conduct, we periodically hold training and lecture

sessions on human rights for employees at the time of their employment or promotion. In FY2013,

we organized a workshop for human resource manager in Asia.

Grievance mechanism

We provide grievance mechanism for our employees and suppliers to remedy problems.

Action on conflict minerals issues

In FY2011 we published the "Toshiba Group Conflict Mineral Policy" and established a conflict

minerals-related internal framework. In addition, we participate in the "Public-Private Alliance for

Responsible Minerals Trade," a multi-sector initiative advocated by the U.S. government to support

supply chain solutions to conflict minerals challenges in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)

and surrounding countries. In FY2013 we surveyed approximately 2,800 companies to investigate

smelters and use of conflict minerals by our suppliers.

We signed the United Nations Global Compact in January 2004 to support universal

principles regarding human rights and labor practices, including the Universal Declaration

of Human Rights.

Sharing the understanding of human rights and the recognition of problems

At the workshop, the lecturers explained the history and background of the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human

Rights. Then, group discussions were held by country to select, from among the 30 subjects in the Universal Declaration of Human

Rights, themes that involve high risks or are likely to occur in each country and company, and to make presentations on the selected

themes in order to share the importance of human rights initiatives.

Many participants stated that they were able to recognize how their work is related to human rights and to deepen their

understanding of human rights through the workshop.

In order that our customers can enjoy our products with comfort, and to

ensure observance of CSR in such areas as the environment, labor and

human rights, Toshiba Group promotes CSR initiatives throughout its

supply chain. Our efforts include optimization of the working environment

for our suppliers’ employees and reducing environmental impact.

Toshiba Group Procurement Policy

Toshiba Group Procurement Policy

The “Toshiba Group Procurement Policy” summarizes our requirements relating to

CSR and Toshiba Group procurement, and through this we require that our

suppliers give consideration to human rights, labor, health and safety, and the

environment, including green procurement. In FY2012, we added a request not to

use conflict minerals to the policy and distributed it across approximately 10,000

suppliers.

Membership in the EICC

In June 2011 we joined the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC), an

organization that promotes CSR in the electronics industry. We promote CSR in our

supply chain in line with the EICC Code of Conduct.

Partnerships with suppliers

We are striving to build healthy partnerships with our suppliers through fair trade

that complies with laws and regulations on procurement. In FY2013, we held a

briefing on the Toshiba Group policy on conflict minerals in May and also a briefing

to explain Toshiba Group’ s management and procurement policies to executives

of our 90 major suppliers in July.

Monitoring

In order to strengthen our suppliers' CSR management, we hold briefings and

monitor the implementation of CSR initiatives. In FY2013, we conducted a survey

targeting some 5,600 companies and requested them to perform self-checks. In

cases where issues were found, we provided support and guidance on how to

make improvements.

Fair trading practices

Toshiba Group provides Clean Partner Line, a system that allows suppliers to report

compliance violations. In the event of a report, we promptly conduct a survey to

confirm facts and take appropriate measures.

Promoting Supply Chain CSRWe will continue to fulfill our responsibilities to the wider society by constructing healthy partnerships with our suppliers and

requiring and supporting the promotion of CSR.

CSR Highlight 2014

In October 2011 the global population exceeded 7 billion people. Rapid population growth and urbanization are forecast for the emerging market of Asia and Africa. Alongside this, we need to deal with associated issues; issues on a global scale that are interconnected and impact on one another in a complex way, such as climate change, the depletion of minerals, metals, fossil fuels and other resources that support today’s society, as well as energy, water and food shortages. Toshiba has been integrating business management and environmental management, and aims to establish ourselves as one of the world’s foremost eco-companies.

We are now implementing our Fifth Environmental Action Plan and promoting environmental management with the four

“Greens” concepts.Toshiba Group has developed “Environmental Vision 2050” as the corporate vision under which we aim to realize a world in which people can enjoy

affluent lifestyles in harmony with the Earth by the year 2050. The vision require the Group to increase the degree of improvement in overall

eco-efficiency by ten times (Factor 10) by 2050 against the 2000 level. Toward that goal, we are now following Fifth Environmental Action Plan, which

we initiated in FY2012, under which we promote four “Green” concepts- “Greening of Process” (environmentally conscious manufacturing), “Green of

Product” (creation of Environmental Management products with the highest level of environmental performance), “Green by Technology” (low-carbon

energy technologies), and “Green Management” (continuous improvement of basic activities). In this Action Plan, we are further integrating business

management and environmental management in all business areas, and have set specific goals to ensure continuous business growth and reduce

environmental impacts.

We are committed to continue to enhance environmental

management and have introduced T-COMPASS, a new environmental

management concept.

At Toshiba Group we develop and apply our own measures to achieve reductions

in environmental impacts. For example, in FY1993 we introduced LCA, a method

for lifecycle environmental impact assessment, and in FY2003 we introduced

“factor,” as a measure of improvement in eco-efficiency. In FY2013 we introduced a

new environmental management concept called T-Compass, in order to

strategically capture new global trends, such as widening the scope and coverage

of the environmental aspects of business.

As the environmental compass for Toshiba, T-Compass represents all

environmental issues that need addressing with the North, South, East and West

symbols of the compass. While there has been no change to our prior approach of

reducing our overall environmental impacts, by specifically identifying

environmental contributions in four main areas we believe that Toshiba Group will

be able to better share the value we are providing with both internal and external

shareholders. While taking on board leading-edge discussions, we aim to make the

environmental information that we disclose easier to understand.

CSR PerformaneManagement Based on ISO 26000

Since Toshiba Group started issuing CSR report from FY2004, we have worked to promote CSR management and proper disclosure of

information with hearing stakeholder's various concerns, and also specifying material issues for Toshiba Group.

in FY2009 we aligned our reporting with the seven core subjects of the ISO/DIS 26000 Draft International Standard in CSR Report 2010.

In FY2010 we also launched initiatives to integrate ISO 26000 into our overall management practices. We evaluated the status of our activities

in line with the seven core subjects, confirmed and established medium-term key performance indicators (KPIs), and disclosed the results of

evaluations in the CSR Report 2011.

In FY2011, we strove to ensure that ISO 26000 was implemented throughout Toshiba Group and made sure that the PDCA cycle of checking,

identification of issues, planning, action, and evaluation based on ISO 26000 standard was implemented. We continued these efforts from

FY2012.

In April 2012, a stakeholder dialogue between some of the experts involved in the formulation of ISO 26000 and members of Toshiba’s CSR

Office was held under the theme of the “essence of stakeholder engagement.” The objective was to evaluate the way Toshiba implemented

stakeholder dialogues and engaged with stakeholders as well as to examine how we should do so in the future.

In FY2013, in addition to the self-evaluation based on ISO26000, we also took into consideration a third-party activity review to identify

materiality (key issues) from an objective perspective and deepened the common understanding of ISO 26000 among Toshiba Group members.

CSR management means giving top priority to human life, safety, and legal compliance and contributing to the solution of problems in the global

society through business.

In order to meet the expectations of stakeholders, it is our responsibility to communicate with various stakeholders (such as customers,

shareholders and investors, suppliers, and employees) in promoting CSR activities. Such activities must be supported by each and every one of

Toshiba Group's 200,000 employees worldwide.

Identifying materiality (key issues)

Since FY2011, Toshiba Group has promoted CSR management in accordance with ISO 26000, the international standards and guidance

criteria for social responsibility.

In FY2013, based on ISO26000, we started to implement reviews with third-party organization, and identified materiality (key issues) where we

needed to strengthen our approach in order to promote further globalization of Toshiba’s business. In FY2013, human rights, supply chain CSR,

and environmental management were identified as material issues, and these are highlighted in the 2014 Annual Report and 2014 CSR Report.

CSR Management Structure

CSR Division / Chief CSR Officers

The CSR Governance Committee, consisting of the Executive Officer in charge of CSR and the executives concerned, holds meetings once a

year, in order to discuss and determine Toshiba Group CSR Action Policies. Based on the polices determined, the Corporate Environment

Management Committee, Risk Compliance Committee and other relevant committees (see the chart below) establish key performance

indicators (KPIs) and implement action plans for each of the topics for which they are responsible.

As part of their business activities, in-house companies, business sites, and Group companies in Japan and overseas appoint their own Chief

CSR Officers. Since FY2007, the members of CSR Office has visited the Chief CSR Officers of in-house companies and major Group

companies every half year to ensure the implementation of Toshiba Group’s CSR management policies and to check the progress regarding

high-priority themes for the companies.

To discuss CSR progress and issues, the CSR Office holds a monthly meeting called the Corporate CSR Meeting, which is attended by

representatives from CSR-related divisions such as human resources, environment and procurement. .

Toshiba Group's CSR Management Structure

CSR Assessment and Internal Audit

Focusing on the major subjects of ISO 26000, related corporate divisions perform self-assessment, along with a CSR activity review by a third-

party organization. We take review results into consideration to identify materialities (key issues).

In management audits performed by the Corporate Audit Division, we also monitor the progress of activities regarding priority issues throughout

the Group.

For our overseas Group companies, we conduct an annual CSR survey based on the 10 principles of the UN Global Compact as well as ISO

26000 and the EICC’s code of conduct to assess the performance of issues regarding ethics, human rights, labor, occupational health and

safety, and social contribution.

In addition, we monitor environmental issues through in-house environmental audits, and the Legal Affairs Division provides instructions directly

to the management of overseas Group companies to ensure compliance with anti-bribery guidelines. Throughout the annual TEAM Survey,

CSR performances such as compliance awareness is also self-assessed.

In order to ensure that Toshiba Group’s policies and plans are properly implemented, we also monitor the progress of company activities

through quarterly reports submitted to the President as well as semi-annual interviews with Chief CSR Officers of in-house and Group

companies conducted by the CSR Office.

In order to enhance CSR awareness among all Toshiba Group employees, the President emphasizes the importance of CSR management at

every available opportunity, such as at the beginning of half-year terms, the company’s anniversary and New Year celebrations. These

messages are communicated to business sites in Japan and overseas as well as to Group companies via in-house newsletters and other

channels. In addition, we educate CSR to employees by different job hierarchies, including new employees and newly appointed managers, and

provide e-learning throughout the year on various CSR topics, such as the environment, information security, human rights and engineering

ethics.

Outstanding examples of CSR initiativessuch as social contribution were officiallyrecognized at the CSR Conference.

Mr. Shimomitsu, Executive Officer in chargeof CSR, spoke about issues to be addressedin FY2014.

Toshiba Group's CSR Month

Toshiba Group has designated December as its CSR Month since FY2006. During this month, we

assess our CSR initiatives and hold a variety of events, such as the Group-wide CSR Conference

and other events at our companies and business sites focusing on social contribution and other

CSR activities. In order to allow each and every employee to conduct self-assessments of their

CSR awareness and practices, we provided e-learning from November 2013 to January 2013 on

topics such as Copyright, Engineering ethics, and Electrical Appliances and Material Safety Act. In

addition to holding “Workplace CSR meetings” focusing, we asked our in-house companies and key

Group companies to conduct self-assessments of their CSR activities in accordance with ISO

26000.

On December 20, we held our annual CSR Conference, which was attended by some 680

employees, including executive officers and labor union representatives. At the Conference, a

ceremony was held to commend the teams that demonstrated outstanding practices with regard to

health and safety as well as social contribution. In addition, examples of outstanding CSR efforts

were shared. Executive Officer in charge of CSR reflected upon our CSR activities in FY2013 and

spoke about issues as “Human right” and “Supply chain CSR” to be addressed in FY2014.

Through these events, attendees were able to re-confirm that the significance of a company’s

existence is validated through its business and the activities of each and every one of its

employees.

Workplace CSR Meetings

In order to promote the concept of CSR throughout our entire organization, in FY2010 we initiated workplace CSR meetings for all our

employees in Japan. In FY2013, we held these meetings three times at each workplace, with the participation of a cumulative total of

280,000 employees.

Three topics were offered for discussion at each meeting, and the participants discussed the one most relevant to their workplace for

around 30 minutes. Unlike conventional one-way education, this kind of workplace meeting aims to improve the workplace climate by

encouraging each and every employee to be aware of integrity issues and to freely express their opinions.

Corporate Governance Policy

Toshiba's corporate governance policy aims to enhance management efficiency and transparency, while maximizing corporate value from the

shareholders' perspective.

Corporate Governance Report (Japanese)

Toshiba's Governance System

As a “company with committees,” Toshiba aims to enhance its management mobility, supervisory functions, and increase transparency. The

board of directors consists of 16 members, half of whom are directors who do not form part of the executive management team ("the Non-

Executive Directors"). The Non-Executive Directors include four outside directors (including one woman), the chairman, the vice chairman, and

two full-time Audit Committee members. The benefit of this composition is that it allows the board to formulate basic management policy

efficiently based on the actual status of management through the inclusion of Toshiba executives who are familiar with its operations but who

devote themselves to supervision, though half of the eight are independent outside directors. Each committee has a majority of outside directors

and the Nomination and Compensation Committees are both chaired by outside directors.The Nomination Committee is composed of 1 inside

director and 2 outside directors, the Audit Committee of 2 inside (full-time) directors and 3 outside directors, and the Compensation Committee

of 2 inside directors and 3 outside directors. Each committee has a majority of outside directors, and the Nomination and Compensation

Committees are both chaired by outside directors.

Notification has been filed regarding all outside directors as being independent directors stipulated in the Securities Listing Regulations of the

Tokyo Stock Exchange.

The outside directors receive prior explanations on the matters to be resolved at board meetings from the staff in charge. They also attend the

monthly liaison conferences of executive officers in order to oversee Toshiba's management.

To help the Audit Committee perform its duties, we have created the office for the committee. The personnel transfers of the staff members of

the office are determined by prior consultation with the Audit Committee. The Corporate Audit Division, which is in charge of internal audits,

consults with the Audit Committee in advance to formulate annual auditing policies and plans. The Corporate Audit Division also participates in

discussions on the audited divisions and shares audit information through semimonthly liaison meetings with the Audit Committee.

Along with these activities, the Audit Committee normally draws on field surveys conducted by the Corporate Audit Division for detailed

information. Though the Audit Committee obtains reports on the results of audits conducted by the Corporate Audit Division, it also conducts its

own audits if deemed necessary.

Compensation for Directors and Executive Officers

We have designed a compensation system for retaining talented human resources, and for providing incentives to directors and executive

officers to effectively execute their duties. Directors receive fixed compensation according to their duties and their status as full-time or part-time

directors.

Executive officers receive basic compensation based on their ranks and service compensation calculated according to their duties; 40% to 50%

of the service compensation fluctuates from zero (non-payment) to double depending upon the year-end performance of the division for which

the executive officer is responsible or that of Toshiba Corporation.

Internal Control Systems

The Toshiba Group Standards of Conduct prescribes the values and codes of conduct that all executives and employees should share. In

response to the Companies Act of Japan, which came into effect in May 2006, we also determined basic policies on the internal control system

at a meeting of the board of directors. Accordingly, in order to enhance the Group-wide internal control system, all group companies also

adopted a similar resolution at respective board of directors’ meetings and established related regulations. Thus they are continuing to strive to

bolster their internal control systems. In addition, Toshiba Group has created an organization for the internal control reporting system and

assesses the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting. We will continue our efforts to properly manage the internal control

system regarding financial reporting.

In order to prevent damage due to antisocial forces, based on a resolution of the Board of Directors in June 2006, Toshiba revised the Toshiba

Group Standards of Conduct to state clearly that the company refuses all involvement in business activities with antisocial forces. Based on

Policy on Respect for Human Rights

Toshiba Group's Corporate Philosophy emphasizes respect for people and has declared that it will respect the rights of all people through

healthy business activities. We also ensure compliance with laws, social norms and company rules regarding human rights worldwide and

promote business activities through fair and honest competition.

For Toshiba Group’s executives and employees, we have defined the “Toshiba Group Standards of Conduct” to stipulate adherence to all

relevant laws and regulations, respect for fundamental human rights, and prohibition of discriminatory treatment, child labor and forced labor.

These standards require that respect be accorded to diverse values, individuality, and privacy of individuals, prohibits discriminatory behavior

based on race, religion, gender, nationality, disability, age, or sexual orientation, and prohibits physical abuse, sexual harassment, abuse of

power, and any other actions that disregard the dignity and individuality of others.

Toshiba Group participates in the UN Global Compact to show our support for universal principles concerning human rights and labor, including

the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, as well as our determination

to put those principles into practice. We also refer various international standards as the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.

UN Global Compact

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights

The OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises

UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights

We also recognize the importance of implementing our human rights policies not only within the Group but also throughout our supply chain. To

this end, we stipulate the policy of respecting human rights in the "Supplier Expectations" of Toshiba Group Procurement Policy and request

their compliance with it, which we then monitor through CSR surveys.

Workshop in Asia on "Business and humanrights"

Presentation by participants

Identification and Monitoring of Human Rights Risks

Toshiba Group continuously investigates potential human rights risks that could arise in connection with its business activities through reviews of

activities based on ISO 26000, which provides international standards for social responsibility in organizations.

In FY2013, in order to deepen our understanding of the impact of our business activities on human rights and to recognize priority issues, we

performed a human rights impact assessment in collaboration with Business for Social Responsibility (BSR), a U.S.-based CSR promotion

organization.

[Major human rights issues identified by the human rights impact assessment]

・Respecting human rights regarding the procurement of raw materials (conflict mineral issues)

・Respecting human rights in the supply chain

・Respecting employees’ human rights

・Respecting customers’ human rights (protection of personal information, etc.)

・Respecting human rights when branching out into new regions

We will enhance our measures regarding human rights issues that vary depending on business area, country or region, through dialogue with

relevant stakeholders. Also, to monitor the implementation of human rights initiatives, we will continue to perform audits by the Management

Audit Department, gap analysis based on ISO 26000, and global CSR surveys targeting overseas Group companies as well as CSR surveys of

our suppliers.

Education on Respect for Human Rights

Toshiba Group strives to be a discrimination-free organization in which employees enjoy optimal job

satisfaction, based on our policy of respecting fundamental human rights and the diverse values of

individuals and prohibiting discriminatory treatment; and foster an awareness of human rights

among our employees through the activities of the Human Rights Enlightenment Committee.

In addition, we undertake trainings that place an emphasis on human rights and diversity. For

example, “Toshiba Group Standards of Conduct” has been made in 16 languages so that the

awareness takes root within all companies and business sites. Education on human rights is

provided to new recruits and to employees at the time of promotion to managerial positions.

In December every year during Human Rights Week, Toshiba holds a Human Rights Week

Memorial Lecture at the Toshiba headquarters as a Toshiba Group CSR month event. In FY2013,

the theme of the lecture was “Mental health and human rights,” and 162 managers from the general

affairs, human resources, and other administrative departments of Toshiba Group companies

attended the lecture.

In February 2014, we invited a representative of BSR, a U.S.-based CSR promotion organization, to

lecture at a workshop we held on the theme of “business and human rights” with the participation of

45 human resources managers from 9 countries in Asia. At the workshop, attendees were lectured

on case studies of human rights violation and on an overview of international standards and

discussed human rights risks that are likely to occur in their own countries / region to obtain a

deeper understanding of how to handle labor and human rights issues.

Grievance Mechanisms

For employees

Risk Hotline

In January 2000, Toshiba established a whistleblower system “Risk Hotline” to collect internal information on Toshiba Group Standards of

Conduct violations, particularly those concerning laws and regulations, and to deal with wrongdoing through a self-rectification system.

Under this system, an employee can report an incident and seek advice. Employees are protected from retaliation and must not be treated

disadvantageously on the grounds that they provided such information.

Consulting Services for Employees

Toshiba provides consulting services regarding employee problems and grievances on an individual basis. Expert consultants respond to

employee inquiries via telephone, fax, e-mail or postal mail regarding problems related to work environment, interpersonal relationships,

personnel treatment, sexual harassment, and abuse of power.

For suppliers

Clean Partner Line

In April 2006, Toshiba set up a supplier whistleblower system to receive reports from suppliers and business partners to prevent

noncompliance and unfair trading practices by employees in charge of procurement and order placements for construction and other

works.

CSR Performance: Labor PracticesFair Evaluation and Treatment

Policy on Fair Personnel Evaluation and Treatment

In Toshiba's view, the purposes of employee evaluation are pertinent personnel deployment and the bringing of employee motivation and

abilities into full play through the assessment of job skills and performance and on the basis of fair treatment for all. Based on this view, in

employee evaluation Toshiba adopts "Evaluation Perspectives by Job Function," a method of clarifying the skills and results corresponding to

each job function, and distributes a handbook explaining the evaluation system to all employees. In employee evaluation, Toshiba uses a point-

addition scoring method to fairly evaluate the skills and job performance results of each individual, without regard to gender, age, ethnic origin,

nationality or other demographic attributes.

System for Promoting Fair Personnel Evaluation and Treatment

Toshiba promotes fair personnel evaluation and treatment in accordance with the personnel evaluation and treatment system established by the

Human Resources and Administration Division.

Training for Fair Personnel Evaluation and Treatment (Employee Morale Survey)

Toshiba encourages Group companies to conduct the TEAM Survey for the purpose of soliciting the opinions of employees.

In FY2013, 34 Toshiba Group companies in Japan conducted this in-depth survey of employee values and attitudes concerning company

policies, attitudes toward and evaluation of workplaces and superiors, and attitudes toward employee evaluation and treatment.

Participating companies hold meetings at each department and, in light of the findings of the survey, implement measures to enhance

communication in the workplace and vitalize organizations.

CSR Performance: Labor PracticesTalent Development

Principle of Talent Development

Toshiba’s principle of talent development is to provide all employees with opportunities for skills development and self-fulfillment in a fair and

non-discriminatory manner.

Cultivating Global Talents

Based on Toshiba's corporate philosophy, Toshiba Group emphasizes the importance of developing

well-rounded global talents who have deep cross-cultural understanding and the ability to perform

their jobs through direct communication with stakeholders around the world.

In an effort to develop such talents, we offer country and/or region-specific education programs

such as “Toshiba Value Education” to develop the desired attitude and mindset fostered over the

course of Toshiba's history, and provide “Liberal Arts Training” to develop well-rounded individuals

who can embrace diversity. Such region-specific education has a long history, with Europe and Asia

boasting the longest with programs commencing more than 15 years ago. To enhance our education programs, the Toshiba China Academy

and Toshiba University in the United States provide education in China and the Americas, respectively.

Furthermore, we offer global-integrated training programs such as the “Innovation Leaders Program” targeted at future leaders of Toshiba Group

companies around the world.

Using Full-fledged Career Development Systems

Toshiba supports the career development of each employee in an effort to maximize their current and future job performance.

We have well-developed career development systems in place. For example, our performance management system gives each employee a

semi-annual opportunity to review with their superior their job performance over the past six months and to discuss their job objectives for the

next six months. The career design system provides each employee with an annual opportunity to share their medium-term goals for skills

development as well as their planned means of developing and utilizing such skills, and to review their long-term career development plan with

their superior.

We also have career development systems that allow employees to build their careers autonomously. For example, our internal job posting

system allows each employee to apply for personnel transfer in order to fill a vacant post announced by a division, and the internal FA system

enables each employee to apply for personnel transfer to a division of their choice.

Structure for Promoting Diversity

In FY2004, Toshiba Group set up the Diversity Promotion Advisory Committee as an advisory body to the personnel department with the aim of

promoting diversity in the entire Toshiba Group. In FY2012, the Diversity Promotion Advisory Committee was upgraded to a promotional

organization named the Diversity Strategy Committee, which meets every six months to encourage each in-house and Group companies to

voluntarily and actively implement diversity measures.

The Diversity Strategy Committee is convened, consisting of the Corporate Senior Executive Vice President who acts the Chief Diversity Officer

(CDO) as the chair, the executive officer in charge of personnel affairs, and the presidents of in-house and major Group companies as top

management members. In this committee, discussions are held to determine the direction of diversity strategies for each company, such as

measures to expand the domestic recruitment base to include more females, policies and measures to develop female employees in order to

increase the percentage of female managers, and the development of global human resources and environmental improvement.

Promotion Structure for Diversity Strategy Committee

Education and Training on Respect for Diversity of Human Resources

The Toshiba Group strives to create an organizational culture where diverse individuality and employee

values are accepted and respected and where each employee is provided the opportunity to maximize

their capabilities and strengths. Our efforts include diversity training where employees learn to accept and

respect diversity of each individual and study about human rights for all employees.

In the mandatory training at the time of promotion to manager, diversity training is conducted for five

hours, and training on compliance-including human rights-for one day. While incorporating work or case

studies, they are learning about diversity management methods and human rights to take full advantage of

the power of diverse human resources. Other training programs include “career training for early career

female employees who have worked for the company for five to ten years;” training for employees with

disabilities, which is designed to “develop skills that emphasize their strengths;” and communication

training for departments that accept employees with hearing impairments. Through these efforts, we are

enhancing our diversity training programs.

Also, Toshiba Corp. has set up an exclusive email address for counseling related to workplace

grievances. Based on opinions and requests from employees, a special networking site has been set up to

provide opportunities for exchanging information among employees. Thus, unified initiatives between the

company and employees have been accelerated to enhance interactive communication.

Raising Awareness

Toshiba's president has, in explaining management policies to employees and at the forum for diversity, “Kirameki Forum” for employees (which

also features experts from outside the company), spoken directly on the idea of diversity as the Group's management policy. We are also

distributing the video and entire text of the message through the company's internal website to communicate the message to employees who

are unable to attend the Kirameki Forum.

Activity Example: Communicating the president's message

In September 2013, President Tanaka's message on diversity was distributed by the internal

Promoting the Utilization of Female Employees

<Toshiba Corporation's Target>In its medium-term management plan, the Toshiba Corp. has set a target of increasing the percentage of female managers to at least 5.0% by

FY2015 by implementing measures to accelerate the utilization of female employees. Furthermore, it aims to increase the number of senior

female managers to three times that of the 11 people (nine Vice Presidents and two Chief Fellow engineers) in FY2012.

<Efforts to promote activities for female employees>In order to promote activities for female employees, Toshiba Corp. has, since FY2004, taken measures seeking to achieve the following three

objectives: increasing the number of female recruits; increasing (developing) female managers; and increasing the retention rate.

(1) Increasing the number of female recruits

Toshiba Corp. has carried out recruiting activities by setting the target ratios of female recruits for administrative and technical positions at 50%

and 25%, respectively. As for technical staff, since the percentage of female students in science and technology departments is only slightly

above 10%, Toshiba Corp. has promoted efforts to recruit more female engineers by implementing various measures such as holding recruiting

seminars dedicated only to female students in science and technology departments and actively presenting female engineer role models in the

recruitment media.

Activity Example: Participating in and sponsoring events to convey the appeal of choosing science and engineering coursesof study in college to female junior high and high school students

Toshiba Corp. also actively participates in and sponsors

events to convey the appeal of choosing science and

engineering courses of study in college to female junior

high and high school students. In September 2013,

Toshiba Corp. held a “TV disassembly workshop” at an

all-girls school in Tokyo. With the support of employee

volunteers acting the role of disassembling experts,

students actually disassemble TVs using tools such as

screwdrivers, and they deepened their understanding of the mechanism of how electrical products

work. At the same time, we helped female junior high students create their visions for their future

careers through their interacting with female engineers.

In August 2013, we also participated in the career event “MY FUTURE CAMPUS Girls 1day” that targeted female high school students and

female freshman and sophomore college students and was sponsored by Mynavi Corporation. In the event, our female engineers explained the

fun of manufacturing to students.

(2) Increasing (developing) female managers

When Toshiba Corp. started our career support activities, the percentage of female managers in Toshiba Corp (Japan). was 0.9% in FY2004.

However, through career shaping support trainings, such as “Kirameki Juku” for managerial candidates and “Kirameki Koza” for working-level

employees, the ratio of female managers has been steadily increasing. For early career female employees, since FY2010, we have been

regularly conducting the “career training for early career female employees who have worked for the company for five to ten years,” and as a

result, the percentage of female managers in FY2012 increased to 3.8%.

Changes in the percentage of female managers (Toshiba Corp. (Japan))section manager class or higher)

Activity Example: Career training for young female employees

Toshiba Corp. developed a career training program for early career female employees for the

purpose of developing prospective female managers and has implemented this training program for

approximately 140 employees every year since FY2010. In this training, they learn how to develop

an idea about their career, and then a group activity of five to six employees is held for six hours in

total and a career design expert gives advice to each employee. In FY2012, a lunch time gathering

after the completion of the training program was newly implemented for employees who have

finished the program, which has contributed to the expansion of networks of same-generation

employees.

(3) Increasing the retention rate

Toshiba Group has set up a system to support diverse work styles of employees.

Recruiting More Non-Japanese Employees

As part of our diversity promotion program, we are increasing the recruitment of non-Japanese employees. Since 2006, in addition to employing

people who have studied in Japan as foreign exchange students, we have been carrying out our “global recruitment” program in an effort to

directly recruit students graduating from foreign universities. Approximately 60 graduates are employed every year and they play an active role

in the fields of sales, development and design. To facilitate their adaptation to life and work in Japan, we provide a wide range of life-related

assistance as well as work-related support such as providing each non-Japanese employee with a mentor who provides them with guidance

based on a tailor-made job skill improvement plan.

Since FY2011, we have conducted regular assessment of job duties and work environments in order to improve them by presenting good

examples from other workplaces in which those employed through global recruitment and their superiors discuss what they each respectively

regard as the challenges and good methods/means of encouraging foreign national employees to actively involve themselves in their

workplaces. Training is also provided for managers and trainers in workplaces receiving those who are newly employed through global

recruitment.

Engaging in interactive communication between the company and employees on the intranet site set up exclusively to promote diversity.

Employment of People with Disabilities

As of April 1, 2014, Toshiba Corp. had 523 employees with disabilities, accounting for 2.09% of the overall workforce. Of the 120 Group

companies, 114 have already achieved the statutory employment ratio of people with disabilities. We are striving for Group-wide achievement of

this statutory target in April 2015.

We have also been making efforts to improve work environments for employees with disabilities. In FY2010, we established a network

connecting seven divisions engaged in supporting people with disabilities, including the Human Resources and Administration Division and the

Design Center. This network has enabled us to devise and implement comprehensive measures to support such employees.

Activity Example: Toshiba With to promote employment of people with disabilities

Toshiba With was established in February 2005 as a special subsidiary company which, in

accordance with Toshiba's basic policy, aims to employ people with disabilities. It was named “With”

in the hope of creating an environment where people with and without disabilities can live and work

together.

Currently, 25 employees, most of whom have intellectual disabilities, are working at five business

sites of Toshiba Group.

Toshiba With was awarded the Toshiba Corporate Citizenship Award in “Social Contribution by

Business”, category which was newly-established in FY2013, for its contributions to society through

business.

Activity Example: Sign language club members organizing a PC Disassembly Workshop at a school for the deaf

Toshiba Group has been providing employees with a monthly sign language lesson, “Toshiba sign

language club,” since FY2009. At the club, employees with impaired hearing serve as instructors,

teaching sign language to facilitate smooth communication and providing information to promote

understanding of hearing disabilities. By FY2013, a total of 1,658 people have participated in such

lessons.

The sign language club members are engaged in activities outside the Company as well. In

FY2013, five members participated in a PC Disassembly Workshop for elementary school children

in grades three through six at the Koto Branch of the Otsuka School for the Deaf (Koto-ku, Tokyo)

to explain the roles of different parts using sign language.

Active Utilization of Older Employees

In 2001, amidst the backdrop of the declining birthrate and aging of the society, we established a system to extend the employment of older

employees until they reach age 65. Under this system, wage levels are determined according to skills and abilities. We expect employees to

continue to display their abilities even after reaching the mandatory retirement age of 60 and pass on high-level skills to the next generation.

Thus, we provide workplaces in which older employees can play active roles in daily operations.

The revised Act on Stabilization of Employment of Elderly Persons came into force in April 2013. As a general rule, in consideration of the

purpose of the revised Act, we have decided to extend employment opportunities to all persons reaching age 60 in April 2013 or thereafter if

they so desire.

We will continue to actively encourage older employees to play active parts in their workplaces according to their work styles, needs, and skills.

CSR Performance: Labor PracticesSupport for Diverse Work Styles

Major Progress and Achievements in FY2013

Toshiba Group held a nursing care seminar for its employees.

Work-Style Innovation

Toshiba Group is working on activities toward accelerating so-called work-life balance under the unique name of “work-style innovation.” Work-

style innovation (WSI) refers to a campaign aimed at creating a positive spiral, where employees work very hard and efficiently and also make

the most of their private lives to rejuvenate and improve themselves so that they can add higher value to their work.

At Toshiba Group companies, each employee promotes activities to increase productivity by changing their working styles and methods. We

also present WSI initiatives implemented at different workplaces on our company website to share lessons from model examples.

Reduction in Long Working Hours

In Toshiba Corp., the average total number of annual actual working hours per employee was 2,064 hours and the average number of annual

non-scheduled working hours per employee was 350 hours in FY2013. Employees who work more than 60 hours of overtime per month are

considered long-hour workers, and those who work more than 60 hours of overtime per month for three consecutive months are considered

chronic long-hour workers. We are striving to reduce the number of chronic long-hours workers to zero.

The Toshiba Group has been pushing work-style reform through the following two approaches: a self-management approach, taken by each

employee, and a team management approach, led by a team leader. We have also been carrying out a campaign with the catchphrase “Enjoy

your work!” for which we have created a related web page on our intranet as a way of letting employees learn from the experiences of top

managers and co-workers.

Annual Paid Vacation

For the employees' rejuvenation, Toshiba Corp.has been facilitating the planned use of annual paid vacation. In FY2013, percentage of annual

paid vacation taken by union members was 83%.

Activity Example: Use of the system for visualizing working hours

In order to promote WSI, it is necessary to accurately monitor the work hours of each employee. For this purpose, Toshiba introduced a

system that allows employees to display and visually monitor hours worked on their computers (FY 2009). We also operate the systems

for work record notification and work record display, in order to ensure that employees and their superiors pay constant attention to work

hours (FY2010- ). The work record notification system automatically sends an e-mail to each employee and their superior to inform them

of their work record.

The work record display system uses the three colors of traffic lights (red, yellow, and green) to classify each employee's current work

record, thereby drawing attention to overtime work hours. Thus, this system supports the visualization of work hours.

Activity Example: Awarded the Diversity Management Selection 100 by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry

In FY2012, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry launched its new Diversity

Management Selection 100 project. Over a period of several years from FY2012, this project

selects and recognizes a total of approximately 100 companies that have achieved excellent

results in diversity management by encouraging diverse human resources to display their

abilities to realize innovation and create value. Toshiba was chosen and officially

commended as one such company in the project's first year.

Activity Example: Authorization by the Act on Advancement of Measures to Support Raising Next-Generation Children

We implemented measures in accordance with the Next Generation Education and Support Promotion Act since

April 2005 and obtained the Next Generation Support Certification Label in 2007.

With these pace-setting initiatives Toshiba won the Nikkei Kosodate (“Child-Rearing”) Award in 2007.

Our internal childcare center “Kirame-kids”

In an effort to support the work-life balance of employees, we opened an internal childcare center named “Kirame-kids Yokohama” on the

premises of one of our business sites, Yokohama Complex, in April 2011. The center, which has a large garden and abundant greenery,

provides full-time high-quality childcare in a relaxed atmosphere and hosts various age-appropriate events for children throughout the

year. In FY2013, children graduated from the nursing program for the first time since the opening of the center.

I took a three-month-long childcare leave. Since we got married, my wife, who also works as an engineer, and I

have equally shared the household chores. After I experienced living with our child alone, I realized that rearing a

child by oneself was much tougher than I had expected. It is important to balance work and childcare and to

divide household chores between husband and wife so that there is never too heavy a burden placed on one of

the two.

“Kirameki” Booklet

Consideration of Working Hours

As for systems related to work style, Toshiba Corp. has introduced flexible working systems such as the discretionary labor and flextime

systems to allow employees to work more efficiently and flexibly by carrying out their duties independently and autonomously. Approximately

95% of the employees in the Sales, Development & Engineering Design, and Corporate Staff divisions are utilizing the flextime system. In

addition, we aim to increase work efficiency by cultivating a corporate culture that emphasizes self-motivation and creativity through lending

smart phones and PCs for home use.

“Family Day” initiatives and days set to leave the office at normal quitting time

In order to accelerate WSI and create time for employees to spend with their families, Toshiba Group is implementing various initiatives,

such as ensuring that all employees leave work at the official quitting time at least two days during Japan's “Family Week” in November.

During others months also, particular days are fixed for each operation site to encourage employees to leave the office at normal quitting

time during such days.

Long Leave System

In order to encourage employees to take leaves for clear and meaningful objectives, Toshiba has introduced a long leave system so that each

employee can avail of a maximum of 20-day accumulated leaves for self-development, social contribution activities, nursing, and treatment of

non-occupational injuries and diseases and conditions, including infertility.

Benefits

Toshiba Corporate Pension Plan

In addition to old-age pension plans by government-managed welfare pension insurance, Toshiba has a corporate pension plan for increased

benefits.

Teatime, a selective welfare system

Toshiba offers a selective welfare system called “Teatime” under which employees can make choices according to their needs from a wide

range of welfare benefits and can receive subsidies from the company for such choices.

Education and Training on Nurturing Diversity

Listed below are some of Toshiba's activities to enhance employees' awareness of the importance of nurturing diversity and inclusion, while

promoting WSI.

“Kirameki Forum” (from FY2005)

Toshiba Group has positioned the promotion of diversity and WSI as one of its management strategies. The president has, in his start-of-term

addresses to employees and at “Kirameki Forum” for employees (which also features experts from outside the company), spoken directly on the

importance of diversity once every year.

“Kirameki” Booklet (from FY2004 to 2006)

Internal PR magazines focusing on the importance of a healthy work-life balance were distributed to all

employees. (Approximately 80,000 copies of the nine issues of the magazine were distributed, including to

employees at group companies in Japan)

Distribution of Work-Style Innovation Handbook (FY2007-FY2008)

Since FY2007, we have established a training program to help employees acquire the skills to work more efficiently according to priorities. In

FY2008, we distributed to all our employees in Japan copies of the work-style innovation handbook (approximately 100,000 copies) that

summarizes the management know-how for working efficiently and the concept of WSI, also providing examples of the various WSI initiatives at

business sites.

Promotion Framework

The chart below shows the framework for the management of health and safety issues across the Toshiba Group. Under the central guidance of

the Human Resources and Administration Division, OH&S activities fall within the management jurisdiction of each of the in-house companies

and major Group companies and are developed at the level of operational sites (or individual Group companies). Statutory activities at each site

(or Group company) include the appointment of dedicated OH&S staff and the establishment of an OH&S committee. Many sites and Group

companies go beyond this to set up specialist or workplace committees, among other autonomous OH&S activities.

We also hold Central OH&S Committee meetings to discuss issues and exchange views with the labor union and to improve the level of

occupational health and safety management from the perspective of employees.

Toshibumi Gamo

Toshiba Group OH&S Management Structure (as of April 2014)

External Recognition of OH&S Activities

Various commendations have been received for the excellent OH&S performance of various companies of Toshiba Group. Toshiba has also

garnered praise for various activities presented at OH&S-related conventions and conferences.

External Recognition of OH&S Activities

Raising Awareness and Education for Ensuring Employee Health and Safety

Toshiba's OH&S activities go all the way back to 1914 when Toshibumi Gamo, who dedicated himself to promoting

industrial safety in Japan, started safety movement at Toshiba's predecessor, Tokyo Electric. Toshiba Group has

inherited this DNA, and at present, a wide range of OH&S activities are being carried out, as a top priority concern for the

management. Thanks to the efforts made over the years, Toshiba Group’s domestic occupational accident incidence

(accident frequency rate) has remained below the average for the manufacturing industry in Japan.

President's Messages to All Employees for National Occupational Health and Safety Weeks

Every year, during National Safety Week in July and Occupational Health Week in October, Toshiba’s President sends

all employees a message relating his unshakable determination to ensure occupational health and safety. At all business

sites and in all Group companies, the top management sends a similar message to all their employees. In addition, these sites and companies

carry out their own OH&S initiatives.

Toshiba Group Health and Safety Congress (Included in the CSR Conference since FY2008)

First held in 1975, Toshiba Group Health and Safety Congress is held every December. Participants include management from Toshiba and

Group companies, labor union representatives, and people in charge of OH&S activities. The President's Award is conferred to companies and

operation sites for excellent OH&S-related activities that set an example for others, as well as to small-group activity program and improvement

proposals. In order to raise the level of OH&S activities and generating greater awareness about health and safety management, the

commended OH&S activities were shared in the Congress to learn from their experiences.

Since FY2008, the Congress has been integrated into the CSR Conference and put a broader perspective, and thus recognizes OH&S efforts of

Occurrence of Work-related Accidents

Based on our “Commitment to People,” the basic commitment of the Toshiba Group, we have been striving to ensure the health and safety of

our employees.

Currently, the frequency of work-related accidents of the Toshiba Group in Japan is much lower than the national average for the manufacturing

industry. We will continue to implement further measures to prevent work-related accidents.

In particular, we will place priority on the reduction of hazardous risks that could lead to serious injuries and diseases and conduct a risk

assessment of all workplaces and tasks. Based on the results of this risk assessment, we will systematically take necessary measures such as

risk identification, review of work methods to eliminate risks, improvement of equipment to reduce and control risks, and exhaustive employee

Group-Wide Efforts to Obtain Occupational Health and Safety Management System Certification

In FY2007, the Toshiba Group introduced OHSAS 18001, an international certification standard for its

occupational health and safety management system, to ensure global integration of the health and

safety management activities of the Group. The implementation of this management system enables us

to identify health and safety issues and make continuous improvements according to priority order

based on the degree of risks involved.

Since even before the introduction of this system, Toshiba Group has been striving to improve safety

management through steady efforts of its organizations and individual employees in their daily activities.

Among such efforts, small workplace groups undertake a variety of activities on an ongoing basis. These

activities include workplace improvement programs, education and training for increasing risk sensitivity

and activities to check whether appropriate practices are being carried out. By combining safety

management based on employee networks with the OHSAS 18001-based management system,

Toshiba Group will implement its global safety management.

Ensuring Health Management

Toshiba Group strives to raise employees’ awareness of the importance of health and takes various measures to maintain their physical and

mental health. With a view to promoting standardization and greater efficiency of medical checkups and follow up measures, we introduced a

system that centrally manages the results of medical checkups and medical interviews for the purpose of using the data to implement effective

measures such as the provision of health guidance and education. In addition to health education provided at each business site, we provide

various services designed to help each employee improve their quality of life. These services include the provision of physical as well as mental

health counseling by telephone as well as in person. These health-related services have been provided in cooperation with the Toshiba Health

Insurance Association.

Also, to enhance health management for employees assigned to work overseas, we have established a special division for them and their

families to implement a range of measures such as organizing hospitals and the local ambulance service in the event of an emergency and offer

overseas medical service visits whereby an industrial health specialist periodically visits and consults with these employees.

Periodic Medical Checkup System

In 1997, Toshiba developed a company-wide integrated system to support periodic medical checkups for all employees in order to standardize

medical checkups and remedial measures as well as to improve the efficiency of related administrative procedures. The system was upgraded

in 2004 so as to link to HR-related database and to provide intranet access to data. At present, the system is being used throughout the Group.

Employees can access the system over the intranet in order to complete questionnaires, change scheduled times for checkups or follow-up

interviews or view the results of checkups. Industrial physicians and healthcare staff can have access to medical checkup data, as necessary,

for use in formulating health management programs.

To facilitate swift and effective remedial action if required, medical test results and responses are compiled, on a priority basis, to draw health

checkup report charts or graphical illustrations presenting five risk areas such as diet, alcohol, smoking, exercise and mental heath. These

charts or graphs are designed such that they are readily understood by employees.

Interview Guidance for Employees Working Excessive Overtime

Long working hours or excessive amounts of work can be detrimental to health, leading to cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases.

Toshiba Group employees working for more than 80 hours of overtime per month are required to go through an interview guidance with an

industrial physician. This is in line with the revised OH&S legislation that came into force in Japan in April 2006, which entitles any employee

working over 100 hours of overtime per month the right to request a medical check. In compliance with this law, Toshiba has instituted clear

safety standards and initiated measures to prevent any work-related damage to the health of employees.

Overseas Medical Service Visits

Employees assigned to work overseas have to cope with drastic lifestyle changes. In order to

ensure sound health of these employees as well as their accompanying families, Toshiba assigns

medical doctors to those parts of the world with inadequate medical care to provide healthcare

services and consultations. These industrial health specialists have been assigned to countries and

regions around the world, including Mexico, China, Taiwan, UAE, India, Indonesia and some parts

of Europe. In addition, based on the results of medical checkups, we have initiated medical service

visits to regions with many employees suffering from ailments in order to enhance support for health

management.

Mental Health

Toshiba was one of the first Japanese companies to address the issue of employees' mental health by developing an advanced, comprehensive

system of care covering employees' work and daily life. In the future, we will enhance our programs based on the population approach (primary

prevention). At the same time, we aim to improve the workplace environment so that employees will be able to acquire skills to effectively deal

with their stress and think about how to find fulfillment in their lives and work.

On-site Health-related Consultation System

Industrial physicians and occupational health nurses at Toshiba respond to onsite health-related inquiries and coordinate with sites,

households and medical institutions as required. They also respond to inquiries from workplaces as well as from individuals.

Helpline for Mental and Physical Health

Toshiba offers an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) in conjunction with its in-house health insurance association to provide counseling

for both mental and physical health issues by external specialists. The program ensures privacy of the individuals seeking help. Employee

family members can also avail of the helpline.

Self-care

Mental health awareness and educational activities are conducted through a special magazine “Kenpo information”

published by Toshiba’s health insurance association, and via the company website. A self-care pamphlet is

covering topics on mental health related to “workplace,” “female health,” “families,” “children” and “elderly people.”

Employee Education

Toshiba was among the first companies in Japan to conduct training of “listeners” for managerial ranks, which it

started in 1977. At present, each site of Toshiba offers health-related self-care education programs to employees

as well as courses for managers. An in-house training center provides optional management seminars on mental health-related topics.

In FY2012, Toshiba strove to improve employees’ healthcare knowledge and skills by introducing self-care e-learning programs to all

Group companies.

Convalescence Support Program

In 2003, Toshiba was the first company in Japan to introduce a convalescence support program to facilitate employees to gradually

resume full-time work following a lengthy absence from work due to mental health problems, and reviewed the program in 2011. Industrial

physicians and occupational health nurses coordinate with the employee's doctor, workplace members and family to devise proposals for

appropriate working hours, place and time.

Promoting communication in the workplace

Employees are encouraged to pay attention to their co-workers and talk to them in order to detect any unusual signs that imply poor

health. This practice has become the norm in the workplace.

In order to raise health and safety awareness at each workplace, we have been promoting communication by holding periodic informal

CSR workplace meetings.

Mental health survey

Since FY2011, we have been conducting a mental health survey as a part of our effort to protect employees’ mental health in order to

promote stress management for individual employees and workplaces.

Measures to Prevent Brain and Heart Diseases and to Improve Health

Since FY2011, Toshiba Group has analyzed the results of regular health examinations according to a classification of jobs shared across all

Group companies. Based on the results of this analysis, the Group provides employees at high risk of developing brain and heart diseases with

priority support, such as work management and health guidance.

Activity Example: Healthy Lifestyle Support Website "Karatto"

Toshiba Group hosts a website designed to support healthy lifestyles and daily health management by using the Internet and mobile

terminals. The website "Karatto" provides tips on developing healthier lifestyle and management of health on daily basis for employees

and their families.

Infectious Disease Countermeasures

Based on information released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs concerning outbreaks of infectious diseases in foreign countries and their

transmission, the Legal Affairs Division compiles the latest information on the matter and distributes it to the subsidiaries in the affected

countries via the related divisions of supervisory in-house companies and major group companies in order to alert the employees on such risks.

Countermeasures for Influenza

With regard to the global outbreak of influenza A virus subtype H1N1 in April 2009, Toshiba Group adopted a uniform measure for the Group as

a whole. The Group specifically initiated measures such as 1) safety measures at each business site (washing hands properly, gargling, strict

monitoring at the entrance gate, etc.) and 2) appropriate measures based on the warnings issued by WHO and the government, such as

restrictions on foreign visits.

Keeping in view of the possibilities of the influenza strain (H1N1) of developing into more deadly form or the more deadly avian flu (H5N1)

developing into H1N1, Toshiba Group will continue to update its measures to ensure employee health and safety, such as formulating guidelines

at each stage of outbreak.

Toshiba Group Business Continuity Plan provides explicit guidelines on the priority businesses and the continuity of activities based on the

nature of the business for each business domain, in the event of large-scale absenteeism owing to the outbreak of the influenza strain (H1N1).

Raising Awareness on Infectious Diseases

Toshiba organizes provides orientation to family members accompanying employees assigned overseas, on medical, safety and other lifestyle-

related issues pertaining to the relevant country. Once the overseas assignment is confirmed, an orientation is held, including prior medical

checkups and courses of vaccination.

New recruits in Japan are provided with booklets also containing information about HIV AIDS. Other awareness-raising programs also cover

topics such as the prevention of HIV infection and the prohibition of unfair discrimination due to insufficient knowledge about the disease.

CSR Performance: Fair Operating PracticesRisk Management and Compliance

Major Progress and Achievements in FY2013

Placed managers of legal affairs in major overseas regions as a measure to enhance global compliance

Policy

At Toshiba, throughout our worldwide operations, we strive to ensure compliance with laws and regulations, social and ethical norms, and

internal rules. Giving top priority to human life and safety and to compliance in everything we do underpins our commitment to promoting

business activities through fair competition and serving the interests of customers to the best of our ability.

We consider thorough adherence to the Toshiba Group Standards of Conduct (SOC), which embody the Basic Commitment of Toshiba Group,

to be the foundation of our compliance. Thus we are working toward making the SOC an integral part of the entire Toshiba Group.

Management Structure

In order to ensure thorough risk compliance management at Toshiba, a board member is assigned the responsibility of overseeing risk

compliance.

If a serious noncompliance incident occurs, we swiftly consider how to deal with it and take the necessary action in the risk compliance system.

As part of reorganization of corporate staff divisions, we set up a Risk Management Division in October 2013. Accordingly, to enhance the

effectiveness of risk management, the Technology & Production Compliance Committee, Sales Compliance Committee, and Information

Security Committee that had been separately operated were consolidated into the Risk Compliance Committee.

Furthermore, we endeavor to reinforce risk compliance management by closely examining ways to prevent SOC violations and the recurrence of

similar incidences through cooperation among the relevant divisions.

Management Structure

*1 The Risk Compliance Committee manages matters related to the Toshiba Group Standards of Conduct and matters related to risk

management (including matters required for the prevention of significant crisis risk, compliance related to technology, production, and sales

activities, and thorough implementation of information security).

*2 CPL is an abbreviation combining CL (contractual liability) and PL (product liability)

*3 The In-house Company Technology & Production Compliance Committee can be integrated with other committees such as the Company

Trainer education for subsidiaries in Asiancountries

Risk Compliance Committee.

Education

Toshiba Group has drawn up the Toshiba Group Standards of Conduct (SOC) in 16 languages and

distributed copies to overseas subsidiaries for compliance training.

With a view to ensuring compliance with the SOC, Toshiba Group provides various education

programs such as education based on the needs of different organizational levels and job functions

including new employees, as well as seminars on compliance topics for top executives. We also

provide e-learning for all employees on a continual basis.

In FY2013, we provided e-learning programs on bribery, illegal transactions, improper payments,

and other topics in order to ensure thorough group-wide compliance with laws and regulations.

For overseas subsidiaries, we have 1) developed e-learning materials on competition laws and

bribery for local subsidiaries in Europe, 2) provided education on anti-trust laws and bribery using

other companies’ examples and explained key points of risk management for local subsidiaries in

China, and 3) provided compliance education for local subsidiaries in Asia.

Activity Example: Developing various measures to promote rigorous compliance

In light of global regulatory trends, Toshiba has been making rigorous efforts to prevent cartelization

and bribery. In FY2013, the Company continued to step up its initiatives to ensure thorough

compliance.

Specifically, the initiatives involve Toshiba Group companies worldwide performing self-audits

based on two Toshiba- developed guidelines: one on antitrust and the other on anti-bribery.

Through these audits, Toshiba Group aims to identify compliance levels at the companies

concerned and to provide thorough compliance education.

Furthermore, in addition to other activities currently underway, among our efforts to enhance our

global compliance structure, we have placed managers of legal affairs in major global regions since

October 2013 to enhance compliance and support subsidiaries in such regions. This has been done

in order to appropriately control legal risks associated with relevant anti-trust laws, bribery, and the like and ensure thorough compliance in

global business, which has been expanding mainly in emerging countries.

Toshiba promotes rigorous compliance with business-related laws and regulations by providing education, effectively utilizing databases that

contain relevant information, and performing periodic self-audits.

In addition, Toshiba’s compliance initiatives are objectively evaluated by outside lawyers once a year. We make improvements to reduce risks

pointed out by third parties in order to continue to enhance our compliance structure.

Response to Compliance Violations

In the event of a major noncompliance incident, Toshiba investigates all facts to identify the cause of the violation, treats the facts seriously, and

handles such violations rigorously by imposing appropriate disciplinary sanctions on the offenders or implementing other such measures. It

makes every effort to prevent recurrence and discloses information in a proper and timely manner as necessary.

In FY2013, Toshiba Group designated “Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)” as a subject for its CSR workplace meetings. Thus, the Group

continues to make efforts to promote its CSR management to contribute to the resolution of global social problems through its business activities

by giving the top priority to human life, safety, and legal compliance on a Group-wide basis.

Whistleblower System

In January 2000, Toshiba established a whistleblower system to collect internal information on SOC violations, particularly those concerning

laws and regulations, and to deal with wrongdoing through a self-rectification system. Under this system, an employee can report an incident

and seek advice. In April 2006, Toshiba also set up a supplier whistleblower system to receive reports from suppliers and business partners to

prevent SOC violations by employees in charge of procurement and order placements for construction and other works.

By putting in place systems to receive reports from inside and outside the company, Toshiba anticipates that the system will play a role in

deterring SOC violations in addition to self-rectification. Toshiba Group companies have also introduced a similar whistleblower system.

Total 61 reports (35 reports)

Response Status

Of the reports received, those reporting inappropriate situations or concerns about inappropriate situations were reported to the relevant division

so that instructions for improvement could be provided or alerts could be issued.

In cases involving consultations and questions about duties of the informants themselves, we gave advice on how to deal with the situation.

For reports other than the anonymous reports described above, we explained the status of our responses to the informants, in principle.

Except in cases in which consent has been obtained from employee, confidential adviser (at the internal secretariat or attorney’s office) never

disclose the names or contact addresses of the informants.

Compliance Situation Inspection and Audit

The Legal Affairs Division periodically communicates with the Corporate Audit Division in order to confirm the state of implementation with

respect to the various compliance measures. Based on the actual state of implementation, steps are taken to enhance the effectiveness of

management audits and the audit results are reflected in compliance measures.

Every year Toshiba conducts an intranet-based employee survey on the Toshiba Group Standards of Conduct(SOC). The results are used in

formulating measures for enhancing awareness on compliance.

Developing measures to continue breaking relationships with anti-social groups

In 1997, the Board of Directors resolved to end relations with anti-social forces such as sokaiya (groups of racketeers). In 2006, Toshiba Group

revised its Standards of Conduct to state expressly that it refuses all involvement in the business activities of such forces. Since then, the Group

has strictly dealt with approaches from third parties to obstruct our lawful and appropriate corporate activities.

In addition, in order to further ensure that all relations with anti-social forces, including business transactions, are cut off, all Toshiba Group

companies have taken various measures, such as reviewing their contract clauses on the exclusion of dealings with crime syndicates, holding

seminars with lecturers invited from outside the Group, and educating all employees about the need for compliance in this area. Toshiba Group

also works with the police, corporate attorneys, and third-party organizations such as the National Center for the Elimination of Boryokudan to

establish systems that enable us to respond to approaches from anti-social forces in an appropriate and timely manner.

Meeting at which participants activelyexchange opinions

Activity Example: Fostering a compliance-oriented culture through workplace meetingsToshiba Group places the highest priority on “life, safety, and compliance” as part of its CSR

management. Each workplace holds meetings focusing on CSR to raise the awareness of

each and every employee with regard to compliance matters so as to make compliance an

integral part of the corporate culture.

These meetings aim to prevent SOC violations by encouraging managers and employees to

discuss various problems that are likely to arise in the workplace and to share their thoughts

with each other in order to create a work environment where they can easily seek advice on

all kinds of problems.

In FY2013, meetings were held on topics concerning compliance related to “Corporate

Social Responsibility (CSR)” as well as other topics, such as “Proper use of Social Media”.

In addition, having created a database to compile information about the implementation status of the meetings as well as by soliciting the

frank opinions of employees via their workplace managers, we are now able to monitor the level of compliance awareness at each

workplace and to develop new measures in the future.

Political Contributions

The Toshiba Group Standards of Conduct stipulates that Toshiba Group shall not provide inappropriate benefits or favors to any politician or

political organization.

In the case of offering political contribution, procedures in accordance with internal rules are followed as well as compliance with the Political

Funds Control Law in case of Japan is strictly ensured.

Toshiba Group Standards of Conduct Chapter 3 18.Political Contributions

Business Continuity Plan (BCP)

Failure to respond appropriately to large-scale disasters such as earthquakes, typhoons, and floods could result in the long-term closure of

operations, triggering significant financial losses, ultimately affecting our stakeholders.

Toshiba implements measures to ensure the safety of employees and their families, support recovery of devastated areas, and maintain

business sites and factories. In addition, Toshiba continually updates its Business Continuity Plan (BCP) covering those businesses that have

large social and economic impacts in order to minimize any interruption in the supply of goods and services in the event of natural or other

disasters such as an influenza pandemic.

Following the Great East Japan Earthquake, Toshiba Group reviewed the damage expected under our BCP, which we had worked out on a

nationwide scale starting in 2007. Based on the revised assumptions, the Group is confirming ways to ensure the safety of all employees at

each business site and taking measures to ensure business continuity.

Developing measures to provide a stable supply of parts based on BCP procurement guidelines

In response to the Great East Japan Earthquake and the floods in Thailand, both of which occurred in 2011, Toshiba’s procurement division is

aiming to establish a more disaster-resistant procurement system.

In order to respond to the risk of supply chain disruption in the event of an emergency, the division included “ensuring continuous supply when

an unforeseen disaster occurs” in its procurement policy and has asked suppliers for their cooperation. In addition, the division is working on risk

assessment and risk hedging daily in accordance with the BCP Procurement Guidelines. It also considers procurement from diverse suppliers

and from wider geographical areas to be one of its most important measures and aims to minimize the risk of supply chain disruptions and to

reduce the amount of time required for resolving supply chain disruptions. In 2012, the procurement division built a system for managing

information on upstream suppliers in the supply chain. Global implementation of this system has reinforced the Group’s ability to respond to

emergencies.

In addition to these initiatives, the division works with related divisions to cope with other risks such as unavailability of products containing rare

earths and power shortages caused by the suspension of operation of nuclear power stations.

Support for Customers’ Business Continuity

In July 2012, Toshiba Community Solutions Company and Toshiba Solutions Corp. built the Tokyo No.2 Data Center. It features the latest

seismic base-isolating systems, and is located in the least earthquake-prone area of Tokyo. In January 2013, it opened the Sapporo Data

Center, which will be used as a remote backup facility. In order to support customers' business continuity, the company will provide safe and

secure cloud computing services via technologies allowing for no-fuel-supply datacenter operation and disaster recovery among others.

In February 2014, Toshiba Personal & Client Solution Company commoditized technology for detecting hard disk drive failures in advance,

started offering solution. Collecting and accumulating data obtained from notebook PCs on the number of HDD read errors and the length of

operating time as well as data from failed HDDs and analysis of large amounts of data thus obtained has enabled the company to detect failure

risk in advance, contact the administrator. This technology allows backups of HDD data before the HDD fails, preventing important data from

being lost at the customers and thereby contributing to ensuring business continuity.

Fair Trading Policy

Toshiba strives to build sound partnerships with suppliers through fair trading in compliance with procurement-related laws and regulations.

Suppliers play a pivotal role in Toshiba Group's ability to provide quality products to its customers. To enable the suppliers to thoroughly

understand Toshiba Group's procurement policy and secure their cooperation in promotion of CSR, we prepared a document outlining Toshiba

Group's CSR stance in procurement in light of the Toshiba Group Procurement Policy and distributed it to all suppliers worldwide in February

2005.

In May 2008, we revised the Toshiba Group Procurement Policy, specified considerations regarding human rights and occupational health and

safety in the Supplier Expectations, and requested suppliers to apply the Procurement Policy to their procurement activities.

In May 2012, we also revised the Toshiba Group Procurement Policy to accord priority to suppliers that comply with laws and regulations as well

as social norms when beginning new transactions or continuing existing ones. In addition, in reference to the UK Bribery Act, we added the

prohibition of bribery to all interested parties as a requirement for suppliers and made an announcement to that effect to all suppliers in Japan

and overseas.

Toshiba strives to build sound partnerships with suppliers through fair trading in compliance with procurement-related laws and regulations.

A dedicated CSR organization established in April 2007 within the Procurement Division is working to ensure fulfillment of CSR in Toshiba

Group's procurement and on the part of suppliers.

It is essential to ensure that procurement complies with applicable laws and regulations worldwide. Toshiba Group has established a system for

ensuring compliance concerning procurement, which is connected with the Toshiba Group Procurement Division.

Information related to compliance concerning procurement is thoroughly informed to Group-wide companies through this system.

Moreover, measures are thoroughly informed by means of Procurement Compliance Liaison Meetings, organized by the Procurement Division

and attended by Compliance Managers and Compliance Coordinators

“Clean Partner Line”, whistleblower system for suppliers and business partners

We have established a whistleblower system for business partners called Clean Partner Line. We notify our business partners of this system

and request that they make use of it to report any issues regarding noncompliance and unfair trading practices that involve Toshiba Group

employees to enable such concerns to be promptly resolved.

Checks and Audits of Fair Trading Practices (Thorough Compliance with the Act against Delay in Payment ofSubcontract Proceeds, Etc. to Subcontractors)

In Japan, we continued with audits against the Act for the applicable Group companies with regard to subcontracted transactions.

Regarding items requiring improvement as identified by the audits, follow-up is conducted in accordance with improvement plans to ensure

thorough compliance.

Training to Ensure Fair Trading Practices

At Toshiba Group, various training programs on compliance in procurement are provided to ensure fair trading practices. For example, in

FY2007, we conducted e-learning for employees of Group companies in Japan on relevant acts, such as the Act against Delay in Payment of

Subcontract Proceeds, Etc. to Subcontractors.

In FY2013, a total of 58,783 employees participated in the e-learning program on the Subcontract Act (participation rate: 99.6%).

We also provide compliance education for employees engaged in procurement at various phases of their careers. Furthermore, we foster

auditors specialized in the Act to ensure fair transactions with subcontractors. In addition, Group companies in Japan conducts periodic training

on the Subcontractor Act for employees engaged in procurement.

Cooperation with Suppliers

Toshiba Group establishes fruitful partnerships with suppliers based on mutual trust.

Suppliers are expected to ensure stable supply of environmentally conscious, excellent goods and services at appropriate prices. In addition, the

activities listed below are vigorously promoted to strengthen “win-win” relationships advantageous to both Toshiba Group and suppliers.

1. Collaborative development of strategic components, utilizing suppliers' unique technologies

2. Collaborative projects for enhancement of the quality of goods and services and reduction of manufacturing costs, utilizing Toshiba Group's

technological capabilities

3. Reduction of procurement costs of suppliers in collaboration with Toshiba Groups procurement operations

Free and Fair Competition in Accordance with Prevailing Regulations

Toshiba Group strives to ensure that its business activities are carried out in accordance with not only prevailing laws and regulations but also

sound business customs and social norms. We provide guidelines on compliance with antitrust laws and other regulations and conduct business

through free and fair competition based on these guidelines. We regard information as important assets and use appropriate methods to

manage confidential and personal information concerning third parties obtained through our business activities.

CSR Performance: Fair Operating PracticesCSR Management in the Supply Chain

Major Progress and Achievements in FY2013

Conducted a survey on the use of conflict minerals for some 2,800 Toshiba Group suppliers that could have been using “3TG”conflict minerals.

Policy

In order to enable customers to use Toshiba products safely as well as to fulfill CSR in regards to

human rights, labor, and the environment in cooperation with suppliers, Toshiba Group continues to

ensure that its suppliers are also committed to improving working conditions and reducing their

environmental impact.

We also believe that in addition to proper management of working hours and wages, ensuring

improved communication between workers and managers, as well as paying attention to

occupational health and safety and to the environment in areas around factories will boost

employee morale and contribute to improved work efficiency.

Accordingly, Toshiba Group will continue to share its management know-how acquired through

experience with suppliers worldwide, particularly those in emerging economies.

In addition to issues regarding the use of conflict-free minerals, there are increasingly diversified concerns about CSR among stakeholders,

including laws on human trafficking and slavery, such as the California Transparency Act and the UK Bribery Act, and environmental issues.

With a view to resolving these issues, Toshiba Group will focus its efforts on programs for CSR in the supply chain.

Thorough Implementation of Procurement Policy

Toshiba Group Procurement Policy was established in February 2005, which outlines Toshiba Group's procurement policy and CSR-related

requirements. Toshiba Group requests suppliers to consider human rights, labor, occupational health and safety in their operations as well as

environmental issues such as green procurement. In 2012, we added two items: respect for human rights and support for the use of conflict-free

minerals to the supplier requirements, and requested some 10,000 suppliers to comply with this policy.

We explain and request to comply with the Toshiba Group Procurement Policy from all new suppliers.

Auditing of suppliers

CSR Awareness in the Supply Chain

Toshiba Group requests suppliers to promote CSR and provide support for their efforts.

Activity Example: Briefing Session on Procurement Policy

Toshiba Group holds a “Briefing Session on Management Policy and Procurement Policy” every year. In FY2013, we invited the

management of 90 major suppliers of Toshiba and requested their cooperation with and understanding of Toshiba Group’s CSR

procurement policy.

With Suppliers

Toshiba Group, as part of its capacity building, strives to build better partnership with suppliers based on mutual trust through education for

suppliers.

Activity Example: Initiatives at Toshiba Information Equipment (Philippines), Inc.

In 2002, Toshiba Information Equipment (Philippines), Inc. (TIP), a production base for hard

disk drives (HDD), became the first Asian company to acquire SA8000*1 certification. TIP

not only objectively listens to its employees’ opinions in order to improve its work

environment but has also spread this initiative to its suppliers. In order to enhance CSR

management at its suppliers, TIP continues to implement monthly audits (12 suppliers per

year). To date, a total of 137 audits have been conducted since 2005, when such audits

began. TIP confirms the status of CSR initiatives at suppliers in accordance with the Toshiba

Group Standards of Conduct, Toshiba Group Procurement Policy, SA8000 and

OHSAS18001*2 standards, EICC Code of Conduct*3, and other guidelines. If suppliers fail

to satisfy these standards, TIP demands corrective actions be taken and provides guidance

and support for improvement. Major problems identified for improvement during audits include those related to labor conditions (e.g.,

working hours and holidays) as well as health and safety management in the workplace. Going forward, TIP will continue to support its

suppliers in promoting CSR initiatives so as to establish long-term partnerships through auditing and guidance.*1 SA8000 refers to a set of international standards established by Social Accountability International for evaluating work environments.

*2 OHSAS18001 (Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series) is a set of standards for identifying occupational health and safety risks as

well as measures to cope with the same, and it also serves to clarify where responsibilities lie.

*3 EICC is an abbreviation for the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition.

Activity Example: Participating in the supplier CSR promotion program of the department of labor and employment in thePhilippines

Toshiba Information Equipment (Philippines), Inc. (TIP) is promoting the KAPATIRAN

supplier partnership program, which was introduced in 2011 by the Philippine Department of

Labor and Employment. This program aims to create a system in which large companies

(“Big Brothers”) guide and help small and medium enterprises (“Small Brothers”) to be to be

compliant with general labor standards including occupational safety and health standards.

TIP was the country's first electronic company that participated in the program.

Based on the program, TIP selects 10 companies from among its suppliers each year and

educates and supports these companies for a period of one year. When the program is over,

TIP submits a report to the Department of Labor and Employment. In addition to on-site

training, TIP also invites external instructors for a variety of training programs.

Through this program TIP support its suppliers in promoting CSR management and also establishes strong partnerships with them.

In May 2013, Toshiba International Procurement Hong Kong Ltd. became the first Japanese-

affiliated company to win the Gold Award (first place) in the export and trade category at the

2012 Hong Kong Awards for Environmental Excellence* sponsored by the Hong Kong

administrative authorities. The company received special recognition for its continuing

environmental and CSR education activities for suppliers carried out through regular survey

and on-site audits. The awards ceremony received a great deal of attention in Hong Kong’s

mass media, which reported on the operations of the company winning the Gold Award in

the export and trade category.* Hong Kong Awards for Environmental Excellence program

Initiated by the Hong Kong Productivity Council in 2008, this environmental protection program evaluates and recognizes corporate environmental

protection activities in 11 categories such as manufacturing, trade, logistics, and construction through public institutions (e.g., universities and

environmental organizations) and selects and officially commends the best company in each category.

EICC Membership

In June 2011, Toshiba joined the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC), the electronics industry’s CSR promotion organization. In

order to fulfill CSR for labor, occupational health and safety, the environment, and ethical standards throughout the supply chain in accordance

with the spirit of the EICC Code of Conduct, we provided education on the Code of Conduct for those working in semiconductor manufacturing

plants in Japan and overseas.

Addressing the Conflict Minerals Issue

Since Section 1502 on conflict minerals of the U.S. Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act) enacted

in January 2013, requires company listed in the United States to investigate the use of conflict minerals mined in the Democratic Republic of the

Congo and its adjoining countries, and report the results. Toshiba Group is not a listed company but as a company in the supply chain of listed

companies will investigate and report it to our customers.

Prior to the enactment of the Act, Toshiba Group organized an internal system to address conflict minerals issues, and it established the

“Toshiba Group Conflict Mineral Policy” and publicized it on its website in October 2011. For humanitarian reasons, Toshiba Group’s policy

prohibits the use of raw materials such as tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold mined in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and its neighboring

countries, which are helping to violate human rights.

Toshiba Group Conflict Mineral PolicyWe are developing and implementing a policy prohibiting use of tin, tantalum, tungsten*1 , and gold, whose extraction or trade supports

conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo or adjoining countries, and/or contributes to inhumane treatment, including human

trafficking, slavery, forced labor, child labor, torture and war crimes in the region.

We will carry out supply chain due diligence in accordance with the OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and

Development) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas.

We will use the EICC-GeSI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) developed by EICC and GeSI*2 to communicate up and

down our supply chain.

Once a validated supply chain is established through initiatives such as full-fledged smelter verification under EICC-GeSI’s Conflict-

Free Smelter (CFS) Program or development of a mineral tracing program, we will procure minerals through such validated supply

chain.

Our efforts are not intended at altogether banning procurement of minerals from the DRC and adjoining countries but to assure

sourcing from responsible sources in the region.

We require our suppliers to cooperate with us in our efforts to assure procurement of non-conflict minerals in accordance with the

Toshiba Group Conflict Mineral Policy.

Toshiba Group’s Promotion Structure for the Use of Conflict-Free Minerals

Headed by a Executive Officer in charge of CSR, the Conflict Minerals Management Committee consisting of related corporate divisions

promotes activities in accordance with the “Toshiba Group Conflict Mineral Policy Guidelines.” Each in-house company appoints a person

responsible for conflict minerals and they share information at the In-house Conflict Minerals Management Committee meetings.

Toshiba Group’s Promotion Structure for the Use of Conflict-Free Minerals

Conflict Minerals Survey

In FY2011, we conducted a pilot survey of some 300 Toshiba Group suppliers of our semiconductor department, etc. on the use of conflict

minerals and about smelters.

In FY2012, we surveyed some 10,000 Toshiba Group suppliers to clarify to what extent they understood the issue of conflict minerals and what

approaches they took toward this issue.

In June 2013, we started a full-scale survey of some 2,800 suppliers that may use 3TG* on the use of conflict minerals and to collect information

on smelters, using EICC/GeSI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template. Prior to the survey, we held a briefing session for suppliers to explain the

procedures of Toshiba Group conflict minerals survey. We explained about the current situation surrounding the conflict minerals issue, and

requested them to cooperate in the survey to identify smelters. 440 companies in all participated both in Japan and overseas.

Green Procurement

Adhering to its Basic Policy for the Environment, Toshiba Group is implementing environmentally conscious approaches in all business

processes and products, focusing on creation of new value in harmony with the Earth.

It is necessary to perform comprehensive assessment of environmental impacts of our products throughout their life cycles from production and

usage through to recycling and final disposal. Toshiba Group is promoting green procurement as a measure to minimize environmental impacts

in the production phase.

In accordance with the Green Procurement Guidelines established in 2003, Toshiba Group prioritizes procurement of products, parts, and

materials with minimal environmental impacts from suppliers who are proactively promoting environmental protection. Later, as stricter statutory

restrictions have come to be placed on chemical substances contained in products in order to reduce environmental impacts and risks (e.g.,

hazardous chemicals), environmental protection efforts throughout the entire supply chain have become indispensable.

Under these circumstances, Toshiba Group thoroughly revised the Green Procurement Guidelines in 2006 and 2011 to address emerging

needs.

In our endeavor to contribute to the emergence of a sustainable society, we request our suppliers' cooperation in the promotion of green

procurement. Also, we assess suppliers' environmental performance and survey and assess the presence of chemical substances in procured

items.

Green Procurement Guidelines (English, Japanese and Chinese)

Selection/Evaluation of Suppliers based on the Level of Greenness

With regard to the environmental performance, we conduct a voluntary assessment of the level of greenness of suppliers (Toshiba standards)

based on the environmental standard ISO 14001. In selecting suppliers, we accord priority based on the ranks of the suppliers and also urge

them to improve their level of greenness.

The level of greenness of suppliers during FY2013 was 97.9%(includes Rank S and Rank A)

Rank S (excellent)

Rank A (good)

Rank B (requires guidance)

Below Rank B (requires guidance)

For Stationery and Other Office Supplies

With regard to procurement of stationery and other office supplies, Group companies strive to select procurement items that have lower

environmental impacts. For example, environmentally conscious products such as Eco Mark certified products, products made of recycled

materials, recyclable products, and products that can be separated for collection are registered as environmentally recommended products for

procurement by Toshiba Group.

We are implementing green procurement for personal computers, copiers, copier paper, stationery and other office supplies.

CSR Performance: Fair Operating PracticesExport Control

Export Control Policy

As indicated in Toshiba Group Standards of Conduct, Toshiba Group’s basic export policy is to comply with all applicable export control laws

and regulations of the countries and regions where we operate, including the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Law in the case of Japan

and US export control laws and regulations with respect to transactions involving items of US origin. The Group also maintains a basic policy of

not engaging in any transaction that could potentially undermine international peace and security.

In accordance with this policy, Toshiba Group has established the Export Control Compliance Program (ECCP). Based on this program, the

necessity of export licenses for goods and technology is determined and transactions are strictly screened. In addition to periodic export control

audits and education for all executives and employees, in-house companies and corporate staff divisions provide instructions and support to the

group companies they supervise.

Toshiba Export Control Compliance Program

The program stipulates the following provisions to ensure compliance with Japan's Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Control Law and

Export Control System

Toshiba's export control system is organized under the Chief Export Control Officer who has ultimate responsibility for the corporation's export

control. The Chief Export Control Officer must be a representative director or an executive officer corresponding thereto. Under the Chief Export

Control Officer, the Export Control Office, Risk Management Division is responsible for overseeing the export control implemented pursuant to

the Toshiba Export Control Compliance Program (ECCP). Each Toshiba in-house company and corporate staff division has its own export

control infrastructure led by the Export Control Officer who is in charge of the division. The Export Control Officer must be the president or

executive vice president of the same in-house company or the general manager of the same corporate staff division. Toshiba Group companies

have also established equivalent export control systems.

Product Classification

The purpose of product classification is to determine whether or not an export license from the Minister for Economy, Trade and Industry (METI)

would be required for products to be exported. In Toshiba, product classification is conducted in individual divisions by qualified engineers who

are familiar with technical background of products. Each classification result is reviewed and approved by a Product Classification Administrator.

Furthermore, the Export Control Administrator in charge reviews classification results at each in-house company or corporate staff division. This

ensures that all classification results are consistent with all applicable laws and regulations.

Transaction Review

The purpose of the transaction review is to ensure that our products are not destined for end-uses or end-users of concern, regardless of

whether they are restricted or not restricted under the relevant laws and regulations. Sales sections at in-house companies and corporate staff

division are required to carry out this transaction review for each transaction. Review results must be double-checked and approved by the

Export Control Office. In addition, transactions requiring an export license from minister of economy, trade and industry or destined for a country

or region of concern are subject to thorough review and approval by the Export Control Office.

The division conducts the transaction only after receiving export license from minister of economy, trade and industry or the US Government,

where necessary.

Export Control Audits

To ensure that group companies are appropriately implementing their export controls in compliance with the relevant laws and regulations, the

Export Control Office conducts periodic export control audits of in-house companies and group companies supervised by corporate staff

divisions. In-house companies conduct similar periodic audits of group companies they supervise. Group companies that were determined to

require corrective measures would be required to develop and submit their corrective action plans. Effectiveness of each corrective measure will

be evaluated by the Export Control Office or the supervising in-house company.

Export Control Trainings

Training courses on export controls (regular and specialized courses) are offered by the Export Control Office for in-house companies, corporate

divisions, and Group companies to educate employees on the importance of export control and to raise awareness and knowledge of the

Toshiba Export Control Compliance Program (ECCP) and related internal regulations.

Furthermore, the Export Control Office provides compulsory export control education for all employees through an e-learning system every year.

Guidance and Support for Group Companies

Export controls at group companies including those located overseas are modeled after that of Toshiba, which is implemented under the

Toshiba Export Control Compliance Program (ECCP). Export control audits are conducted periodically to evaluate their performances.

The Export Control Office convenes a monthly meeting with the in-house companies and key group companies. Besides providing information

on relevant international situations and regulatory trends, or advices on specific issues, this meeting also provides a forum for exchanging

related information and opinions. In-house companies provide guidance on export controls and related support to group companies they

supervise.

In addition, in order to reinforce our support to overseas Group companies, we have been holding workshop meetings for export control

personnel in such companies, including meetings in the Middle East, Africa, and Singapore in FY2012 and in China (Shanghai) in FY2013.

Furthermore, beginning in April 2014, Toshiba Asia Pacific Pte., Ltd. (Singapore) has started providing guidance and support for Group

companies mainly in the Asian region by setting up an Export Control Regional Office.

CSR Performance: Fair Operating PracticesInformation Security Management

Policy on Information Security

Toshiba regards all information, such as its customer information, management information, technical and production information, handled

during the course of business activities, as its important assets and adopts a policy to manage all corporate information as confidential

information and to ensure that the information is not inappropriately disclosed, leaked or used. In view of this, Toshiba has a fundamental policy

"to manage and protect such information assets properly, with top priority on compliance." The policy is stipulated in the chapter "Corporate

Information and Company Assets" of the Toshiba Group Standards of Conduct, and managerial and employee awareness on the same is

encouraged.

In response to regulatory changes and changes in the social environment, Toshiba revises the related rules on an ongoing basis so as to

rigorously manage its information security.

We are rolling out information security management programs to our subsidiaries in Japan and overseas. In formulating rules and guidelines in

promoting information security at our overseas subsidiaries, we also take into account the local circumstances.

Toshiba Group Standards of Conduct Chapter 2 16. Corporate Information and Company Assets

Information Security Management Framework

Addressing information security as a management priority, Toshiba Group has established, under the supervision of the Chief Information

Security Officer, the General Manager of the Risk Management Division, an information security management structure in which the head of

each organization, such as president of each in-house company, head of corporate staff division as well as president of each group company

are responsible for information security.

The Chief Information Security Officer periodically convenes meetings of the Risk Compliance Committee to engage in deliberations necessary

for reliable implementation of Company-wide information security. In addition, he or she formulates and implements policies and measures to

ensure smooth, efficient, and reliable compliance with internal regulations related to information security.

At the in-house companies, the company presidents serve as Information Security Management Executive, bearing full responsibility for

information security at their respective companies. The Information Security Management Executive appoints Information Security

Implementation Managers who are responsible for operation of the information security management system.

The Information Security Management Executives provide guidance and assistance to the group companies under their control to ensure that

of these self-audits and the related improvement activities, provides guidance and assistance where necessary.

These self-audits are applied throughout Toshiba Group worldwide, in addition to Toshiba Corporation, all Group companies conduct self-audit

to improve the level of information security every year.

Furthermore, particularly those business units which handle important and confidential information have acquired ISMS (Information Security

Management System) Certification. As of April 2014, all 22 companies (25 divisions), including Toshiba Corp., for which acquisition of

certification for the performance of their duties had been deemed necessary, had acquired such certification.

Information Security Measures

Toshiba Group implements information security measures from four perspectives (see the table below). The Risk Management Division

incorporates these measures into regulations and guidelines and makes them fully known to all Toshiba Group companies through notices and

briefings.

establishes a framework in which the head of the general affairs section serves as the personal data protection Implementation Manager and

the persons in charge of planning and information systems serve as Assistant Implementation Managers and implements personal data

protection.

In accordance with the Act on the Protection of Personal Information, which went into full effect in April 2005, group companies in Japan have

developed similar structure and implemented personal data protection. Toshiba group companies outside Japan implement personal data

protection based on the legal system of the countries where these companies located in.

Response to Incidents such as Leakage of Personal Data

As a countermeasure for any eventuality related to personal data, Toshiba Group has put in place a system for dealing swiftly and ensuring data

disclosure.

In the event that an incident occurs, Toshiba responds in accordance with internal procedures. In the event a leakage of personal data or a

situation that poses the risk of leakage occurs, the Implementation Manager of each division communicates and reports to the Risk

Management Division.

Upon receiving the report, the Risk Management Division, in accordance with relevant laws, ordinances, and ministerial guidelines, consults with

the related divisions to reach upon a conclusion after considering the possibility of infringement of the rights and interests of the affected parties.

Personal Data Protection and Management Checks and Audits

Toshiba Group considers the autonomous implementation of PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle to be a reliable means for appropriate

management of personal data and confidential data. In view of this, each division conducts a self-audit regarding personal data protection.

Based on the internal checklist for information security and personal data protection, each division performs a self-audit to identify discrepancies

and implements necessary measures to rectify them.

Personal data protection is also a compliance item in the management audit conducted by the Corporate Audit Division at each division.

As Privacy Mark certification is an effective approach for guaranteeing the effectiveness of personal data protection, as of April 2014, all 23

companies for which acquisition of certification for the performance of their duties had been deemed necessary had acquired Privacy Mark

certification. This count includes Toshiba and Group companies that handle large volumes of customer personal data in connection with

outsourcing.

Incidents Related to Personal Data

In FY2013, no incident related to leakage of personal data, managed by Toshiba Group in Japan or objections, etc. from external parties or

regulatory authorities occurred. We will further reinforce our efforts to prevent incidents related to personal data protection.

Personal Data Protection and Management Education

Toshiba provides yearly education concerning personal data protection along with information security education to executive officers and both

regular and temporary employees. In FY2013, Toshiba further enhanced the awareness of employees by providing education on provision of

personal data to third parties and protection of personal data.

Protection of Customer Personal Data

Toshiba clearly states the purpose while using customer personal data and, in principle, obtains direct personal data based on the consent of

customers and other individuals.

Essentially, the personal information obtained includes basic personal data such as name, address, telephone number and email address. The

main purposes for the use of personal data available with Toshiba are mentioned in the following website.

Purposes of Use of Personal Data

Toshiba appropriately handles personal data in accordance with internal regulations and rigorously controls personal data cooperating with the

information security management structure.

Furthermore, personal data of shareholders, entrusted to a trust bank dealing with shareholder affairs, is also strictly managed.

Protection of Employee Personal Data

Toshiba obtains and uses employee personal data after first obtaining consent for the purpose of use. The Human Resources and

Administration Division plays a central role in rigorously managing employee personal data.

Personal data of job seekers is appropriately protected by using such data only within the scope of the purpose of use for which consent is

secured.

Personal Data Management at Contractors

When Toshiba contracts the handling of personal data to an outside contractor, in accordance with Toshiba’s Information Security Evaluation

Criteria it selects an appropriate contractor such as a company that has acquired Privacy Mark certification. In addition to the regular contractor

agreement entered into with selected contractors, Toshiba concludes a memorandum concerning personal data protection or obligates the

contractor to submit a written pledge concerning personal data protection. Toshiba periodically confirms the state of personal data handling at

contractors through on-site audits, etc.

CSR Performance: Fair Operating PracticesProtection of Intellectual Property

Policy on Intellectual Property Protection

Toshiba Group's policy on intellectual property rights is to observe laws and regulations associated with them, to protect the results of

intellectual activities with the rights and make extensive use of those rights, and to respect the legitimate intellectual property rights of third

parties. This policy is stipulated in the Toshiba Group Standards of Conduct.

As part of this policy, for example, we are working with the regulatory authorities of each country to eliminate counterfeit products that damage

the Toshiba brand.

Toshiba Group Standards of Conduct Chapter 1 11. Intellectual Property Rights

Toshiba Group Intellectual Property Management Structure

At Toshiba, the Intellectual Property Division, a corporate staff division, is responsible for the protection of intellectual property rights. In-house

companies and key group companies also establish their own organizations responsible for intellectual property protection.

Toshiba Group Intellectual Property Management Structure (As of June 2014)

Intellectual Property Protection Checks and Audits

In the course of business, we are likely to be at risk of infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties or facing lawsuits for violating their

patents. To reduce or eliminate such risk, Toshiba investigates third party patents and other intellectual property rights related to its business in

advance before developing new businesses and implements the necessary measures to avoid any infringement of third party rights.

Also, In order to prevent unauthorized use of copyrighted software, we conduct periodic surveys on appropriate software management in

Toshiba and its Group companies worldwide. We conducted surveys worldwide in FY2013 as well, and confirmed that there were no problems.

Intellectual Property Protection Education

With the widespread use of the Internet, opportunities to browse through third-party copyrighted works have been increasing, enabling anybody

to easily copy others' works such as computer software. Under these circumstances, there is an increasing need to prevent the unauthorized

use of copyrighted works. In view of this, we conduct education of top executives and employees at Toshiba and its Group companies

worldwide.

In FY2013, we provided e-learning programs on intellectual property rights for Toshiba and its Group companies in Japan.

Measures against Counterfeit Products

Failure to take action against counterfeits of Toshiba products would pose not only the risk of damage to Toshiba's brand value and public

confidence, but also the risk of purchasing counterfeit products that do not meet the quality expectations of customers who mistake them for

genuine products.

Accordingly, to ensure that customers can purchase Toshiba products with confidence and peace of mind, we are striving to eliminate such

counterfeit products that infringe Toshiba's intellectual property rights, in cooperation with public agencies. In the event that counterfeit products

are discovered in the overseas market, we will take constructive and systematic countermeasures by directly visiting the local government

official in order to exchange opinions about necessary measures. In China, the “TOSHIBA” and “Toshiba” (in Chinese characters) have been

recognized as well-known trademarks. In recent years, various counterfeit products have been discovered and artful counterfeiting cases are

increasing. By utilizing the “well-known trademark” recognition, we will continue reinforcing preventive measures to achieve a fundamental

solution to the problem of counterfeits products, which is expected to become larger and more complex in the future.

Disputes, Litigation, and Judicial Decisions Related to Intellectual Property

As of June 30, 2014, there are no matters related to intellectual property rights that correspond to operational risks recorded in the annual

securities report.

Quality improvement training program at theToshiba China Academy

Promoting Initiatives Aimed at Enhancing Capabilities to Ensure Product Quality

Toshiba Group is working to enhance its capabilities to ensure quality by adopting a proactive approach to quality rather than the conventional

protective one. Of the four main pillars of quality listed below for promoting initiatives, we focus on improving the Quality Management System

(QMS), not simply obtaining ISO 9001 certification but also improving the system by means of raising the quality of design and procurement, the

root cause of losses, as well as by enhancing the training of personnel who can support the development of the system. Compliance is the

foundation for all these activities.

Four pillars to enhance quality capabilities

In order to enhance our capabilities to ensure product quality, Toshiba Group is promoting failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) mainly for

design work as one of our Design for Quality (DFQ) initiatives for ensuring high quality design.

To further reinforce FMEA activities, we formed a working group to exchange information obtained from these activities and trained instructors to

make FMEA an integral part of all four of our business domains, thus preventing product defects starting from upstream processes.

In FY2013 in particular, we trained and certified FMEA instructors intensively in the Digital Products (PCs and TVs) Division, the Home

Appliances (cleaners, etc.) Division and the Social Infrastructure Division in order to raise the general level of activities.

Training Personnel in Charge of Quality Assurance

We established the Toshiba Quality Training System to foster personnel who can contribute to quality improvement at all concerned divisions.

We develop and promote education programs to improve awareness on quality management depending upon the requirements of each division,

as well as to improve skills on reliability techniques and quality control methods.

In order to foster personnel that are capable of taking charge of quality assurance, we develop and implement 21 quality training programs for

employees in all divisions related to product life cycles on methods of analyzing the causes of product accidents and preventing them. In

FY2013 a total of 1,095 employees participated in the training programs. We also provide compliance training and e-learning on the Electrical

Appliance and Material Safety Law for approximately 105,000 Group employees and overseas subsidiary staff at a Group-wide level.

Promoting local-based training programs in the key manufacturing base of China

The Toshiba China Academy, training institute of Toshiba China Co., Ltd., plays a central

role in Toshiba Group in raising the skills of quality assurance personnel and improving the

education system. In FY2011, in addition to existing training programs, “improvement of the

quality of procurements,” and “quality innovations,” we implemented the following programs

in which various cases were incorporated as training materials, “Quality awareness and

quality risk management,” and “How to audit suppliers.” 257 employees participated in the

training programs conducted in Dalian, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and other areas in FY2013.

We will continue our efforts to contribute to the improvement of quality levels in China.

Strengthening the System to Prevent Reoccurrence of Serious Product Accidents by SharingInformation within Toshiba Group

In 2011 we created the “Guidebook for Preventing Reoccurrence of Accidents,“ which is a

compilation of accident cases that have occurred since 2004 in Toshiba Group. The Guidebook was

distributed to division managers and meetings were held to explain the content to the persons in

charge of quality issues in the Group in order to strengthen measures to prevent reoccurrence of

accidents. In addition, the information was converted into an e-book for access by personnel in

charge of quality and safety-related issues in the Company via the intranet. A serious accident not

only signals an alarm for the quality and safety of products, but also can provide precious insight

into product development and assessment. We will promote the system of sharing information

within the Group and strive to prevent reoccurrence of product accidents.

Workplace Improvement and Quality Evaluation by Third Parties

In order to improve product quality, it is necessary to analyze factory processes and remove defective factors. In addition to the close

examination, evaluation, and testing of each process, Toshiba is strengthening its awareness of hidden problems and reviews them proactively

so that it can detect latent risks and take measures swiftly even after product shipment, in response to the opinions of customers.

We also actively participate in the Quality Management Level Research conducted by the Union of Japanese Scientists and Engineers (JUSE).

In this research, quality management levels are evaluated from six perspectives: managers’ commitment, quality training and human resources

development, strengthening the foundations of quality management, daily management and improvement, development of new products, and

response to customers and quality assurance. The companies surveyed are ranked in consideration of all the aforementioned aspects.

Toshiba placed first in the Seventh JUSE Quality Management Level Research and was officially commended as an excellentcompany.

Toshiba placed first in the overall category in the Seventh JUSE (Union of Japanese

Scientists and Engineers) Quality Management Level Research in FY2012.

In terms of “strengthening of the foundations of quality management,” we were evaluated

highly for our established system in which, as one measure to prevent the recurrence of

similar quality problems, quality control managers and engineers were able to view 19

examples of problems that had occurred at Group companies via booklets and the company

intranet. In the area of “development of new products,” we were rated highly for our efforts to

develop unique power generation and energy conservation technologies. Two specific

examples are the development of predictive control technologies, which reduce the time

required to activate thermal power generation turbines based on an appropriate analysis of

market needs, and the "ENE-FARM", which can be operated continuously even in the event

of a power failure.

* Toshiba placed fourth in the Sixth JUSE Quality Management Level Research in FY2010.

Maintaining Product Quality for Emerging Countries and Outsourced Products

The development of new products for emerging markets continues to accelerate. In order to ensure stable product quality in each country and

territory and thus prevent quality problems, Toshiba Group has prepared guidebooks on subjects such as product specifications, user

environments, and country-specific problems while taking benchmarking against other companies’ products into consideration.

With the recent diversification in production methods, use of ODM (original design manufacturing ) in which manufacturing, including

development and design, is outsourced to third party organizations and EMS (electronics manufacturing service) in which only production is

outsourced, is increasing. Against this backdrop, we have put together a guidebook on matters to consider ensuring production quality and

safety, important control and audit points, and various case studies, and we request contractors to follow them.

Disclosure of Information on Quality

In the event that incidents related to quality occur, information is disclosed on the Toshiba website in order to notify customers of such incidents

as quickly as possible.

Basic Policy on Product Safety

Based on Toshiba Group Basic Policy on Product Safety, we are committed to eliminating product accidents. In order to ensure customer safety,

we comply with the prevailing safety-related laws and regulations and proactively disclose full information to customers.

Toshiba Group Basic Policy on Product Safety

1. We comply with the applicable laws and regulations on product safety in Japan and overseas.

2. We widely gather information on product safety incidents and disclose such information in a proactive manner.

3. We swiftly report product safety incidents to the competent authorities in accordance with laws and regulations.

4. In the event of a serious incident attributable to any of our products, we swiftly institute a product recall and notify customers without

delay.

5. We issue alerts, as necessary, and employ warning labels to encourage safe use.

6. We thoroughly analyze the causes of any product safety incident and strive to prevent recurrence.

Providing Information on Product Accidents

An employee who becomes aware of information concerning a Toshiba product accident must alert the division(s) in charge of dealing with

safety issues concerning the product in question. The CPL Committee*1, chaired by the President of the in-house company, then acts upon the

matter. In the event of an accident attributable to a product that is likely to recur, we inform customers of the danger and request that they cease

using such products, promptly report to the competent authorities, and establish countermeasures as soon as possible.

In FY2013, Toshiba disclosed a total of 40 accidents in the list of serious product accidents*2 on our website: 20 cases that were suspected to

have been caused by products, 19 cases the cause of which was unknown, and 1 case in which it was determined that the accident had not

been caused by the product (as of April 11, 2014).

Furthermore, we are developing an information system to enable swift communication with quality assurance divisions and top management

regarding information on product accidents obtained by repair and service staff as well as on how such incidents are being handled by Toshiba.

CPL Committee: CPL is an abbreviation combining CL (contractual liability) and PL (product liability). The CPL Committee, chaired by a

senior executive, promptly determines measures to deal with product accidents and quality issues.

Activity Example: Promoting Product Safety Information Sharing

In Toshiba Group, the plans and results of product safety-related activities of in-house companies and key group companies are

investigated and the information is shared by the Group.

To boost activities, in FY2011, the persons in charge of product safety issues in in-house companies and Group companies began

holding meetings to exchange opinions and information.

By learning about the aspects of safety that vary depending on the nature of products, they have contributed to improving product safety.

Such product safety exchange meetings were rated highly by third parties and cited by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry as a

reason for officially commending Toshiba as a company that excelled in taking product safety measures.

In FY2013, we further developed these activities and launched a Group-wide Safety No. 1 Working Group. The Working Group

systematically reviews and promotes initiatives including formulating safety design standards common to all Toshiba Group companies

and creating a database/sharing information on examples of products that do not comply with safety standards.

Response to Long-Term Used Product Accidents

To ensure safety we have asked our long-term users of CRT TVs to conduct safety checks. For refrigerators, to prevent electric fires or smoke

caused by long-term use and deterioration, we distributed flyers requesting customers to stop using products that had been used for more than

25 years since the purchase.

We also provide information on inspection and labeling system for long-term use products and also provide consultations.

Measures to prevent equipment from toppling over(Japanese)

Activity Example: Raising awareness to prevent incidents due to long-term use of household electrical appliances

In order to prevent accidents attributable to the deterioration of home appliances over long-term use, in April

2008, the METI promoted consumer awareness on this issue by distributing nationwide cautionary circulars. To

further raise awareness on this issue, Toshiba Group distributes cautionary flyers during repair visits, publicizes

information on its website and has put in place a call center* to respond to inquiries from customers. In April

2009, the Consumer Product Safety Act was revised, and inspection and labeling system for long term use of

products was enforced. While complying with the requirements under this system, Toshiba Group is also

providing necessary information to the customers through its website as well as consultations through the call

center* .

* An inquiry center for providing guidance on the long-term use of home appliances

Activity Example: Education on the proper way of using elevator and escalator

Toshiba Elevator and Building Systems Corp. organizes nationwide safety campaigns to

provide instructions concerning the correct use of elevators and escalators, mainly to

children in kindergartens and elementary schools. This event has been continuing for over

the last 30 years, thanks to the cooperation of local communities, including the children and

guardians who participated in such events.

Recently, the number of participants has been growing, owing to the growing concern in the

safety of elevators and escalators. In FY2013, the campaigns were held nationwide with the

total of 1,603 children and their guardians’ participation. We also held a safety campaign to

demonstrate how to respond in a situation in an elevator during an earthquake or power

failure with 1,565 participants.

Furthermore, The Company also promoted local resident-oriented activities, including

making a presentation at a lecture session held by the Shinagawa Ward CSR Council, and appearing in its booklet.

Activity Example: Remote maintenance of medical equipment

In order to ensure the safety and reliability of medical equipment, Toshiba Medical System Corp. is promoting the global use of a remote

maintenance system called InnerVision™ Plus, which monitors customers’ equipment around the clock and automatically detects system

failures at an early stage. For example, this system places the highest priority on promptly reporting system failures regarding

cardiovascular system equipment and mammography equipment and informs customer engineers of automatic failure analysis results

using advanced alert features. When issuing a failure alert, the system informs users not only of detected failures but also of on-site

repair procedures and parts that need to be replaced using accumulated data on troubleshooting. At present, we are working to provide

procedural guidance for improving equipment performance by automatically analyzing information on equipment operation and by

acquiring data on how the equipment is being used, as well as to predict the life of X-ray tubes based on data on equipment operation.

Activity Example: Notices to ensure safe use of products

To ensure safe use of household electrical appliances, Toshiba publishes notices on correct use with illustrations on its website.

Products: Refrigerator, Japanese-style electric heater, electric stove, electric blanket, rice cooker, etc.

Activity Example: Seminars for consumers on electric appliances

Toshiba assigns employees to serve as instructors at seminars for consumers held by consumer affairs bureaus to communicate

accurate product information and advice on safe usage. Over 300 consumers participated in the seminars held 17 times in FY2013.

Compliance with Regulations on Advertising and Labeling

In FY2013, as a result of our strict implementation of the Manufacturing Labeling Standards, there were no violations of the Act Against

Unjustifiable Premiums and Misleading Representations among Toshiba Group companies.

Manufacturer Labeling Standards: These standards were authorized in 1978 by the Japan Fair Trade Commission in accordance with the

provisions of the Act Against Unjustifiable Premiums and Misleading Representations. In the home appliance industry, these standards are

implemented by the Home Electric Appliances Fair Trade Conference. The Manufacturer Labeling Standards stipulate rules regarding the

prohibition of false labeling, items necessary for labeling, and standards for labeling specific items. The standards aim to ensure fair

competition by helping general consumers appropriately choose products and by preventing unfair means from being used to attract

consumers.

services, selected from 16 contact centers. Through such events, we rewarded the efforts of skilled, customer-oriented operators and shared

their skills and outstanding responses among the contact centers as a means to enhance overall quality.

Initiatives for Providing Repair and Other Services

Activity Example: Prompt maintenance support and new services in Toshiba Elevator and Building Systems Corporation

On the day of the Great East Earthquake, the staff of Toshiba Elevator and Building Systems Corporation began visiting buildings in

difficult circumstances due to major aftershocks and disruptions of public traffic and communication systems. The following day on March

12, the first group of employees and staff arrived in the Tohoku area. Staff from branches and offices, manufacturing sites, and business

partners as well as technicians arrived from all over Japan by registered emergency vehicles via emergency access roads. The support

staff have been working on the prompt recovery of affected elevators by utilizing an integrated system of design, manufacturing through

maintenance service, and a nation-wide service network, and their efforts continue to this day. As part of the measures to prepare for

post 3.11 aftershocks and scheduled blackouts due to exceeding demand for power, the Company also established an information

service for “elevator operation information during earthquakes,” in which information on the operation of elevators can be checked via

computer when earthquakes occur, and a “service to stop elevator operation by remote control” that is free of charge from September

1,2011 (Disaster Prevention Day in Japan). In response to the experiences gained from the Earthquake, Toshiba Group companies that

provide aftersales services are currently working on revisions of disaster response manuals to improve our system to offer better

services without interruption in the case of a disaster.

Activity Example: Providing quick services after the Great East Japan Earthquake

As a result of the Great East Japan Earthquake, the Sendai service station of Toshiba Service & Engineering Co., Ltd., which is

responsible for repairing home appliance products, had to suspend its operations mainly because its buildings were damaged. However,

on March 22, eleven days after the disaster, the company resumed its operations on a full scale as the communication infrastructure

returned to normal.

During this interval, its personnel continued to attend to repair requests at the contact center. In particular, there were many requests

from affected people for repair of LCD TVs and water heaters, and at one time, the number of such requests rose to ten times as many

as usual. In order to provide services quickly, a total of over 120 field engineers from the company nationwide were shifted to the Tohoku

region for repair services. In addition, in cooperation with Toshiba Carrier Corporation, a temporary service station specializing in water

heaters was set up in Sendai.

Despite the fact that some of the field engineers had also been affected by the earthquake, they promptly attended to repair requests,

and this was greatly appreciated by many customers.

Activity Example: Toshiba Medical Systems Corp.

At Toshiba Medical Systems Corp. (TMSC), to support customers in making maximum use

of delivered equipment, we provide a variety of training programs for service engineers,

application specialists and overseas hospital engineers at the Customer Support and

Training Center. For example, we have been providing a service training program for

overseas customers since 2000. With a total of 183 customers from 29 countries having

participated in the program so far, the demand for the training is still growing from year to

year. In recent years, the program has been provided not only to hospital engineers, but also

to instructors who teach how to use X-ray and other medical equipment at universities, technical colleges and technical/occupational

training centers to which we have delivered our products. After a training session, we conduct a questionnaire survey on the training in

order to reflect customers’ needs in the program.

participants including field engineers of partner companies and managerial staff attended such training. Every semester, the company

has been implementing trainings under different topics to improve the quality of skills for customer satisfaction.

Education and Training of Employees on Dealing with Customers

Understanding the importance of customer satisfaction is emphasized in Toshiba Group employee training on the skills necessary for dealing

with customers.

In addition, we also provide a variety of manuals, including the Customer Service Manual and Collection of Telephone Responses to Customers,

as well as raise employees’ customer service awareness through employee briefings and publication of information on the company website.

System to Facilitate Handling of Customer Inquiries and Claims

We have a database system to compile major customer inquiries and claims which we report to the concerned division and the top

management.

We not only deal with customer inquiries and claims but also make efforts to prevent the recurrence such claims.

Checks and Audits concerning Customer Support

Since 2005, self-audits of major call centers have been continuously performed once a year since FY2005 using the Contact Center Quality

Checklist unique to Toshiba.

High priority items which have low implementation status are focused, and targets are set. Accordingly, measures for improvement are

implemented, such as customer response skill training, monitoring, etc.

Case Studies on Efforts to Improve Customer Support

Activity Example: Toshiba Elevator and Building Systems Corp.

Toshiba Elevator and Building Systems Corp. constructed a new facility training building on

the site of the Toshiba Fuchu Complex in FY2013. This new building, which also functions

as a showroom, is designed for providing maintenance services for elevators and building

facilities as well as for conducting engineer training in order to improve facility construction

skills. The building is equipped with a high-rise elevator shaft for skills training on the

maintenance of high-speed elevators. Such elevators have been increasing in number in

recent years as increasingly taller buildings are erected. This facility training aims to ensure

safety and comfort during high-speed elevator operation. In addition, the East Japan Service

Information Center, which provides round-the-clock support services, including remote

monitoring of Toshiba elevators and building facilities, relocated to this building and

expanded its office in order to provide a variety of technologies designed to ensure security

for customers. A maintenance support system that makes use of mobile phones is also available to facilitate speedy recovery from

damage suffered due to an accident or large-scale earthquake.

Activity Example: TOSHIBA TEC Solution Service Corp.

TEC Engineering Corp., in charge of POS system maintenance, monitors networks around

the clock throughout the year for customers with service contracts and provides support,

remote maintenance, and failure recovery services.

In order to enhance the level of customer satisfaction, the company solicits customer

opinions to understand customer needs and mobilizes them to improve the level of services

as well as daily operations.

Newly constructed Three R Center

Activity Example: Toshiba Medical Systems Corp.

Sale of recycled equipment:

When customers introduce the latest equipment to provide advanced medical care, existing

equipment that can still effectively perform its functions is sometimes discarded. In some

cases, such equipment is sold as used products without proper maintenance or without the

capability to fully perform its functions. Since 1992, Toshiba Medical Systems Corporation

has been offering trade-in services for such equipment to maintain it at maintenance centers

in Japan, the United States and Europe for resale in regions that are in short supply of

medical equipment.

In November 2013, we established the Three R Center within the head office of Toshiba

Medical Systems Corp. and started maintenance services for the Aquilion 64 CT system. We

have shipped nine pieces of recycled equipment to facilities in Japan, South Korea, India,

Pakistan and Venezuela. Under current circumstances in which many used products are recycled and distributed by third parties,

maintenance and recycling services offered by manufacturers themselves provide customers with a sense of security in terms of product

quality and safety. We aim to promptly establish maintenance and recycling services in order to further promote medical equipment

trade-ins.

Policy on Sharing and Utilization of Voice of Customer

The Toshiba Group Standards of Conduct and the Toshiba Group Customer Satisfaction Policy state that Toshiba values the voice of customer

and strives to provide products, systems and services that deliver customer satisfaction.

Toshiba Group Standards of Conduct Chapter 1 1.Customer Satisfaction

Toshiba Group Customer Satisfaction Policy

Framework for Sharing and Utilization of Voice of Customer (VOC)

At Toshiba Group, all parties concerned, including top executives, share information on customers' complaints, opinions, and requests about our

products and services received through our daily sales, repair, and service activities, and via telephone or the internet, in order to improve the

quality of our products and repair services.

Based on frequent inquiries from customers about Toshiba Group's video and information devices and home appliances, we discuss how to

make improvements for each product at periodic meetings held by divisions in charge of product design and development in order to have

customer feedback reflected in our products.

Improving Products and Services with VOC as the Starting Point of Concept Development

After the launch of new home electronic products, Toshiba Group collects VOC via its sales team, service personnel at contact centers, and the

website. The VOC is analyzed and the results are shared with product planners, quality managers, and sales groups so as to use it effectively

for product improvements. This mechanism has become an integral part of the Group’s business operations. In overseas markets, Toshiba

Group conducts VOC analysis and in-person visit surveys to identify the needs of customers in regions with various climates and customs.

In FY2013, in addition to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, where we interviewed customers in FY2012, we also visited customers’ homes in Long

Xuyen, a local city in the Mekong Delta, to conduct an interview survey in Vietnam. The survey provided valuable opportunities to have face-to-

face conversations with customers and obtain information not only about the actual use of home appliances in Vietnam and customers’ requests

but also about their daily lifestyles and dreams for the future.

We will share the survey results with the product planning and design divisions to enhance development and improvement efforts so as to

provide products and services that meet customers’ needs and realize their dreams.

TCL's “Ask Toshiba” website

Activity Example: VOC-based knowledge disclosure on the Toshiba PC support website in Canada

Toshiba's Digital Products & Services Company, taking into account the fact that many inquiries at

its contact centers in Japan and overseas were related to the use of PCs, has enhanced the

information on its website.

For example, Toshiba of Canada, Ltd. (TCL) inserts links to its customer support site “Ask Toshiba”

as desktop icons on PCs, on the tool bar of Web browsers, on “favorites” menu bars, and so on in

advance, making it easy for customers to access the customer support site. “Ask Toshiba” enables

customers to search its knowledge database for answers to their inquiries by PC model, thus

increasing customer convenience. This improvement has helped to reduce the number of telephone

inquiries related to the use of PCs.

Ask Toshiba

Activity Example: Disclosing VOC of "REGZA" customers

Toshiba Digital Products & Services Company has been executing opinions of customers to enhance the "Omakase Donpisha

Kougashitsu" (automatic adjustment of the highest image quality) function and hard drive recording function, and to improve the REGZA

Program Guide of our REGZA LCD TVs.

In addition, part of the VOC is disclosed on our website as reference for the selection and use of the products.

Activity Example: Development of a mammography system minimizing discomfort and anxiety

One reason for the low rate of breast cancer screening using mammography is discomfort and anxiety at the time of screening. To

reduce patient discomfort and anxiety, we developed a system that reflects the opinions of radiological technologists and patients.

At Toshiba Medical Systems Corporation, application specialists, who serve as the interface between medical fields and development

teams, gather the opinions of medical specialists and patients for execution in product development.

The patient-friendly design based on ergonomic principles, which provides features, such as armrests to cushion the arms (patent

pending), use of material conducive to comfort for those portions that come into contact with the body, and rounded contours to help

create a relaxed atmosphere, has won numerous design awards in Japan and abroad, including the Good Design Gold Prize 2007,

Germany's Universal Design Award 2008, iF Design Award 2008, and Red Dot Design Award 2008.

Major Progress and Achievements in FY2013

Contributing to Solving Regional Social Issues through Business

Social Infrastructure Business such as Smart Community

The rapid growth in world population, concentration of people in cities, increasing demand for energy, and information explosion due to ICT and

networking-all of these issues are becoming increasing concerns, resulting in the urgent need to innovate in the areas of energy and storage. At

the same time, city dwellers seek comfortable, convenient, safe, and secure living environments and earnestly desire solutions that support such

lifestyles. “Smart communities” are expected to be one such solution to balance these interests. In order to contribute to the development of

affluent future communities, Toshiba Group will carry out smart community projects around the world.

Smart community by Toshiba Group

Created new category “Social Contributions by Business” to Corporate Citizenship Award to Promote Contribution toSolving Global Social Issues through Business

Support for the employment and independence of intellectually disabled peopleToshiba With Corporation

Toshiba With Corporation is a Toshiba Group subsidiary established in 2005. At Toshiba

With, employees with intellectual disabilities are engaged in business operations for

cleaning, printing, mail delivery, and health care within Toshiba Group. Through these

operations, employees learn about work responsibilities, sense of purpose, and enjoyment in

work, along with social rules and manners in order to achieve independent living.

The independence of the people with intellectual disabilities requires not only employment

opportunities, but also support in living, including lifestyle and health management. To this

end, the company works in close collaboration with disabled people’s families and support

organizations to create a unified support system.

We will continue to support promoting awareness and understanding of disabilities, fostering

employee self-reliance, so everyone may play a more active role in society.

Comments by an outside evaluation committee member (chairperson):

Focused on the appropriate mission of supporting the independence of the people with intellectual disabilities,

this program provides such people with employment, by making the most of the advantage of the company in a

very appropriate way. Employment of disabled people requires not only the provision of workplaces, but also

consideration of their living conditions. I was especially impressed that the company is working in close

collaboration with local government organizations. This project still has room for improvement in terms of

profitability. However, if the company can work out measures to improve its profitability, it may succeed in

creating innovations in solving social issues regarding the employment of the people with disabilities.

FY2013 Corporate Citizenship Award in the Business Division Category

Reducing CO2 emissions and living in harmony with local communities using a compact geothermal power generation systemToshiba Power Systems Company Thermal and Hydraulic Power Division

Geothermal power generation is attracting public attention as a natural energy source that emits

relatively small amounts of CO2 . Toshiba started a business that makes effective use of geothermal

power generation at Nakao Hot Springs in the Okuhida region (in Gifu Prefecture). The company

developed an environmentally harmonious, compact power generation system; at the same time, it

proposed a new business model for living in harmony with the local community. In addition to using

steam to generate electricity and sharing hot water with spa service providers, the company’s

proposals also included providing an emergency power source to be used during disasters and creating

employment at the geothermal power station. Toshiba explained its business model through close

dialogue with the local community and achieved consensus among all interested parties.

The relationship with the local community becomes stronger as more and more local community

residents gain a deeper understanding of the project. Consequently, a foundation is being formed to

work together with local residents to solve social issues regarding the economic development of the

local community.

Comments by an outside evaluation committee member:

The company correctly understands the obstacles to geothermal power generation and is making efforts to

overcome the obstacles. In particular, I was impressed with the fact that the company is well aware of the

need to collaborate with stakeholders—and above all, local community residents—and is striving to

achieve multiple objectives so as to maintain the balance between environmental protection and economic

interests. Local residents’ expectations and satisfaction provide an effective driving force for the project.

We hope that the company will be able to establish similar relationships with local community residents in

other areas as well.

Development of Products that Meet Local Needs

Development of a weather radar for forecasting the occurrence of heavy rainfall and tornadoes

In August 2013, in collaboration with the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology

(NICT) and Osaka University, Toshiba developed a phased array weather radar to observe heavy rainfall

(local downpours) and tornadoes and started experimental weather observation on Osaka University’s Suita

Campus.

With conventional weather radars lacking the speed and accuracy required to forecast the occurrence of

heavy rainfall and tornadoes, it has been difficult to provide accurate information for evacuation. Therefore,

there are high expectations for the development of technologies that enable more detailed observation in a

shorter period of time.

We will continue the observation, which is also a performance assessment test, to study the mechanism of

unexpected local weather phenomena. At the same time, we aim to improve the accuracy of evacuation

information and to prevent accidents by detecting early signs of the phenomena.

Development of home appliances for Southeast Asia and other developing countries

Toshiba Lifestyle Products & Services Corporation periodically visits homes in different regions in

Southeastern countries, such as Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia as well as in India to conduct

consumer surveys through daily life observation and interviews. Based on survey results, the

company develops products that meet local needs.

In the development of refrigerators, for example, the company conducted research not only on

refrigerators but also on people’s lives in general to study their current lifestyles, signs of lifestyle

changes, and variance in the use of refrigerators in accordance with cultural background. Based on

the survey data, the company released a medium-sized refrigerator in countries in Asia in April

2014. Having a simple and sophisticated design, the refrigerator provides convenient and user-

friendly features that fit the changing dietary habits and lifestyles in Asia, such as large room for

vegetables bought in the market every day and a chilled compartment that keeps plastic-bottled

beverages for guests cool.

Job Creation and Human Resource Development

Establishing Toshiba Carrier Air Conditioning (China)

In January 2014, Toshiba Carrier Air Conditioning (China) began its operations in the Hangzhou

Economic and Technological Development Zone (Xiasha) in China. This company was established

for the purpose of manufacturing and selling highly efficient and reliable products, expanding job

opportunities for local people. It also aims to reduce burdens on the environment throughout the

product lifecycle with consistent operation of manufacturing, sales, and after-sales service.

Prior to the first production, Japanese engineers were dispatched for technical assistance in

purchasing precision parts for highly efficient motors from local vendors. We continue promoting

local procurement under the policy of localization.

Group restaurants in Japan, including the Toshiba head office cafeteria.

In FY2013, we took this initiative one step further and appealed for cooperation at a briefing

meeting where Toshiba’s major suppliers gathered together from Japan and overseas. As a result,

11 companies agreed with our proposal and served food using seafood from Miyagi Prefecture as

ingredients at their respective company cafeterias.

Experimental program for the improvement of local life in India

In India, power supply remains less than 90% of power demand. In particular, due to power shortages during the nighttime, rural regions are

having difficulty in education for children. In Chikhalgaon, Maharashutra Province, Toshiba is working in collaboration with Lokmanya Public

Charitable Trust, a regional NGO, to undertake an experimental program that aims to support the improvement of the local living standard by

LED lighting operated using solar battery systems to make up for power shortages.

Support for Cultural Activities

LED lighting illuminates cultural heritage

In an effort to reduce environmental impact and to achieve high artistic standards at the same time, Toshiba is replacing conventional lights with

LED lighting systems in a variety of cultural buildings and museums around the world.

Toji Temple’s Five-story PagodaIn December 2013, we installed a Toshiba LED lighting system at Toji Temple (also known as the Kyoo

Gokokuji Temple), the head temple of the Buddhist Shingon Sect, to illuminate the temple’s five-story pagoda.

When replacing conventional lights with the LED lighting system, we strived to reduce the electricity

consumption required for the illumination without changing the traditional image of the gold-glowing five-story

pagoda.

To this end, we conducted an on-site lighting experiment to verify that the LED lighting system to be installed

would not only reduce electricity consumption but would also provide bright enough light to maintain the

traditional image of the five-story pagoda. We were able to reduce electricity consumption (CO2 emissions)

required for lighting by approximately 51% compared with conventional HID lighting, without changing the

image of the gold-glowing five-story pagoda of Toji Temple.

New York Grand Central StationIn November 2013, Toshiba delivered an LED lighting system to New York Grand Central Station,

which is a historic building that serves as a landmark in New York, and held an LED illumination

event for the new lighting. Used by approximately 750,000 people per day, Grand Central Station is

one of the symbols of New York; many movie scenes have been shot at the station. The year 2013

marked the centennial of the construction of the station building. In the illumination event, we

attached lighting devices to the 354 windows on the western side of the main concourse and

projected a variety of images created by the lighting designer, including Thanksgiving and

Christmas motifs.

Boston MuseumToshiba delivered an LED lighting system to the Boston Museum for the exhibition room used in the

special art exhibition, Boston Loves Impressionism, held at the museum from February to May

2014. Designed to enable the adjustment of the color temperature, LED lighting can provide light

that closely resembles natural light and also reduce ultraviolet and infrared rays to prevent the

brown discoloration of paintings. Therefore, it can effectively reduce environmental impact and

satisfy high artistic standards at the same time.

With regard to environmental matters of high concern to local residents, many Toshiba operational sites proactively hold meetings, inviting the

local residents to their facilities and soliciting opinions.

Since its establishment in 1992, Yokkaichi Operations has held an annual environment meeting with

the local municipality. At the meeting, we explain the results obtained from the measurement

environment data on air and water quality emissions from our facilities and exchange opinions with

municipality representatives.

In collaboration with the Yokkaichi City Board of Education, we offer classes at regional elementary

and junior high schools and display exhibitions in science seminars for children in an attempt to

raise children’s interest in science and manufacturing and to prevent them from moving away from

the natural sciences.

Iwate Toshiba Electronics Co., Ltd. invites residents, employees of companies in the vicinity, school

teachers, and local government officials each year to undertake a communication program entitled

“Environmental Reporting with the Local Community.” Toshiba will continue this program in order to

further promote the understanding of its business activities through dialogues with local community

residents. Initiatives include environmental activities, factory tours, and discussion meetings.

Toshiba’s Fuchu Plant displays exhibits at the Environmental Festival held in June every year by

Fuchu City in order to introduce visitors to Toshiba’s environmental activities in a panel exhibition.

Many people visit Fuchu Park every year during the festival, and we provide them with mulch made

from fallen leaves in the park free of charge, attracting the attention of many visitors.

paper and plastics for corporate citizenship activities.

In the years ahead, Toshiba will continue to engage in face-to-face dialogue with local communities.

Consideration for Employees’ Exercise of Civil Rights

"Saiban-in" (Lay Judge) System LeaveToshiba set up a new leave system called "Saiban-in" (Lay Judge) System Leave to coincide with the commencement of the Lay Judge System

from May 2009 in Japan. This leave facilitates the employees to participate as citizen jurors in criminal court procedures.

Based on the law for implementation of the "Saiban-in" system in criminal court procedures, the salary per day for the employee selected to

participate in such system amounts to the basic salary per day. Also, based on the above law, the number of leave days provided under this

system equals to the maximum number of participation days under the Lay Judge System.

Ensuing the Safety of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station

Cooperation and support to ensure the safety of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station

Toshiba Group has been conducting relief activities, sincerely hoping for the earliest possible recovery and reconstruction of the areas and

people affected. Toshiba Group is also continuing to provide cooperation and support in maintaining the stability of the power station and

advancing its decommissioning.

Since immediately after the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, Toshiba Group has been working to the best of its ability

to eliminate the consequences and ensure safety in response to a request by the government and the Tokyo Electric Power Company,

Incorporated (TEPCO).

As a company engaged in nuclear power generation, we take the accident very seriously and have remained united in our resolve to overcome

every difficulty.

Preventing the release and discharge of radioactive materials Actions for step 1 (occurrence of the earthquake to July 2011)

In April 2011, the government and TEPCO developed a preliminary roadmap consisting of three steps for termination of the accident.

In step 1, where we effectively reduced the high radiation dose rate, Toshiba Group worked to prevent the nuclear-contaminated cooling water

injected into the damaged plants from flowing out into the ocean. Under harsh work conditions with blackouts and high levels of radiation, we

built and began operating a circulation cooling system designed to purify and recycle contaminated water in order to cool the reactor core within

the short period of two months. As a result, we were able to control the increase in contaminated water, preventing it from flowing outside the

power plant premises.

Achieving a stable state of cold shutdown Working toward step 2 (August to December 2011)

A contaminated water treatment system developed by an overseas manufacturer was initially installed to deal with the emergency. The

operation of this system led Toshiba to conclude that in order to process the massive amounts of contaminated water, it was necessary to

improve the system's treatment capabilities and ensure its stable operation. Consequently, we proposed to TEPCO that we develop a new

system in cooperation with partner companies in the United States and Japan. We commenced development in May and began operating the

new system in August.

The new system, which we named SARRY™,*1 was highly valued for its stable operational performance and high decontamination ability, and

came to be used as the primary decontamination device from October onward. The stable operation of SARRY allowed us to effectively cool the

nuclear reactors through the circulation cooling system, and to help achieve a state of cold shutdown for the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power

Station's Units 1 through 3 in December.

*1 SARRY™:Simplified Active Water Retrieve and Recovery System

Decommissioning initiatives from FY2012

Toshiba developed quadruped robots to perform investigations and recovery work in places unapproachable by humans and then actually

deployed these robots to worksites at the power station. In addition to SARRY™, the contaminated water treatment system currently in

operation, we developed and installed Multiple Radio-nuclides Removal System (MRRS), which reduces the concentration of radioactive

substances being treated to a level such that the environment is not affected. At the same time, outside the nuclear power station,

Gammasight™, which is a gamma camera capable of rendering radiation levels visible, continues to be used effectively in decontamination

work.

Smaller in size and higher in performance than gamma cameras used in the power plant, this portable

gamma camera renders the distribution of radiation effects, which are difficult to identify using ordinary

dose rate meters alone, visible using different colors, thereby allowing decontamination to be performed

effectively and efficiently as well as contributing to ensuring the safety and security of local residents.

Stakeholder Dialogue in FY2013

Date February 18, 2014

PlaceToshiba Information Equipment (Philippines), Inc.,Manila, the Philippines

Theme CSR activities in general

Toshiba Information Equipment (Philippines), Inc. (TIP),

Toshiba’s hard disk drive (HHD) manufacturing base, has

approximately 8,000 employees. It has been proactive in

CSR activities as demonstrated by the fact that it became

Asia’s first electronics company to acquire SA8000

certification, in 2002.

A dialogue took place between Corazon Bunag, Vice

President of TIP, and Jeremy Prepscius, Asia Director at

Business for Social Responsibility (BSR) regarding CSR

activities.

Main comments from the dialogue

Corazon: TIP’s important stakeholders are its employees, its supply chain, its customers, its

shareholders, local communities, and mediating and global stakeholders.

We identified the concerns and interests of the respective stakeholders covering three focus areas:

Economic, Ecology, and Equity. As a strategy, our CSR Activities should improve the context of our

competitiveness and address relevant social issues; that is to say, they must contribute to value

chain activities and must seek the potential to create new business.

Our guiding principle as a company with integrity has lead us to acquire SA8000, ISO14001,

OHSAS18001, and other global certifications. Social Accountability (SA) 8000 is a set of international

standards for labor and human rights; and TIP became the Philippines’ first electronics appliance

manufacturer to acquire SA8000 certification. Maintaining this certification requires ongoing efforts

and is time-consuming, but such efforts lead to having a competitive edge in business. Therefore, we

are proactively working to do so.

Jeremy: I was impressed to hear that through their CSR activities in various regions of the

Philippines, such as support for restoring devastated areas, donating products, and providing

educational programs, TIP has many opportunities to share the same issues and concerns that local

communities face, and their network of contacts is expanding. Engaging in such activities may

provide many hints on opening new markets; and by working closely with the marketing and sales

units, it is possible to build new business models that suit the circumstances of local communities.

Corazon: TIP sees that targeted economic engagement—particularly in the affected areas—as the means of achieving poverty reduction and

longer term development through initiatives that provide these people with socially beneficial products and services that directly improve the

quality of their lives or where they are directly involved as producer .

TIP aims to support the development of social enterprises that are driven by a strong social purpose to enable the marginalized population to

integrate into the mainstream economy. TIP aims to participate in an environment for business interactions that create value.

We also believe that supplier audits should lead to clarifying the fundamental causes of problems and measures for improving. Ideally, the

relationship between customers and suppliers should be one that encourages both parties to grow as partners through such activities as the top

managers of both parties discussing how their mutual business ought to be carried out.

Jeremy: One way of coping with problems that individual companies cannot easily resolve alone is to resolve them through industry

cooperation. There are several examples of successes among the projects BSR is advancing—including the HER Project, which educates

female workers in emerging economies in health care and hygiene maintenance, and the Clean Cargo Project, which helps the transport

industry to reduce its CO2 emissions.

Perspectives of Outside Directors

Directors and Executives

Toshiba is now at a crossroad. Last year we saw a new president and this year a new chairman

will take office. Also in Toshiba’s business portfolio, we see many signs of transformation.

Capitalizing on its truly great potential, Toshiba has to continue to transform itself in a

healthy way. Both inside and outside the board of directors, I would like to contribute to this

process.

I serve on the nomination committee of the board. On top of the legal duty of the

committee to nominate new board members for the general assembly, Toshiba has its

own rule of the committee to nominate the president to the board every year. This is a very

progressive and healthy form of corporate governance. Within this system, I participated in

the nomination of the new president last year and had a chance to offer my opinion on the

selection of the new chairman of the board this year. I would like to continue this kind of

contribution in the future, too.

More concretely, I personally think that Toshiba’s board will benefit by welcoming

younger members more, especially those who can become a potential candidate for our

future president. Top management quality and vitality will determine the company’s growth

potential and its realization.

Hiroyuki ItamiOutside Director

Since my appointment as outside director of Toshiba two years ago, I have served as the

chairman of the Compensation Committee and as a member of the Audit Committee, under

the company’s committee based set-up.

One of the things that have impressed me most about Toshiba is its firm commitment to

making itself stronger and better by encouraging its outside directors to express their views

freely. I am convinced that Toshiba made the right decision by placing committees, where

outside directors hold the majority, at the core of its corporate governance system.

The domestic and international situation surrounding Toshiba has changed dramatically

in the last two years. Although the Japanese electronics industry continues to face

formidable challenges, our country as a whole is regaining its vitality at long last and people

are beginning to take a more positive attitude toward the future. There is no doubt that the

business sector will play a crucial role in making Japan regain its confidence and reinforce its

leadership role in the international community. Toshiba holds a large number of “world’s first”

and “world’s top” titles and it is incumbent on it to put to full use its technological excellence

and creativity to help make that happen.

I am sure that Toshiba will continue to expand and upgrade its global business activities

with a high-mindedness that has been its hallmark over the years. It is my hope that I will

be able to contribute to these endeavors by making suggestions based on my overseas

experiences.

“Do you go to the Toshiba’s office once a month or so?” Oftentimes friends ask me.? No

kidding!? On average, I go to the office twice a week. Every day in a week is not unusual.

There are board meetings, meetings with business unit leaders and a CPA firms in addition to

various seminars/exhibitions.? Outside board members are busier than you would imagine.

I made myself busier by initiating “Girls-Only Luncheon”.? Once in a while I invite mid-

level female employees from various divisions and chat over lunch. This turned out to be a

great opportunity.? Ms. A gets up at 4 in the morning to prepare lunch boxes for her children

and do laundering before heading for an office. Ms. B found time to go to a graduate school

and received a PhD degree while working as hard as ever.? Ms. C is also a hard worker but

enjoys golfing in the weekends. All the women I met are energetic and excellent in time

management. At the luncheon, they eat well, speak with animation and laugh a lot.? They

point out management issues from their perspectives without reserve.? I would never have

gotten the valuable information, if I have confined myself in my office on the executive floor.

One of the plants has started hiring young women recently. They soon found many

components were too heavy for them to pick up and carry:? Some components weigh well

over 15 Kg.? They investigated and researched various materials and created devices that

were light but sturdy. Primary beneficiary for this development was men. Men could not

complain the heavy weights in fear of seeing as wimps.? Now, not only women but men

work effortlessly in a friendly working environment. Operation efficiency, needless to say,

has improved significantly.? Diversity is not for women or handicapped. It is for everybody. I

am convinced that “Women power” would lead Toshiba into further growth.

Kiyomi Saito Outside Director

I am happy to say that I have taken the opportunity to return to Toshiba.

Last time I was with the company from 2001 to 2007. Since then, there have been many

and various changes in both Japan and the international environment in which Japan

operates. Toshiba too, has changed itself and evolved to operate in today’s world, through

measures such as establishing healthcare as the third pillar of its business. On the other hand,

given the state of Japanese-Chinese relations in recent years, I imagine that the Chinese

business, which was a major part of the overseas business, is a lot of hard work these days.

Even after resigning as a director of Toshiba in 2007, from time to time I still had

opportunity to speak candidly with Toshiba people. When we met I would take the

opportunity to discuss the following kind of things.

The first is the so called horizontal and vertical relationships within an organization,

which can be found in large Japanese companies and equally so in government offices. With

this, there is a lack of horizontal cooperation between the vertical ranks, and each vertical

section goes about its business in a complacent manner, with the result that knowledge,

information and networking is not shared, and the strategy of the organization gets put to

one side. However, when dealing with a foreign country, such as China with all its diversity,

this method can not be described as intelligent.

It is not good enough, but often the case with Japan, that overall authority is not

delegated sufficiently to local entities. Companies doing business overseas, when venturing

to foreign destinations from head offices in Japan, need to share their strategies with the

people there, and work together with local people with a sense of speed to capture the local

market. Of course, the major premise in implementing this kind of strategy is that the people

with whom you are sharing the workplace have the necessary competencies.

The fact of the matter is, the two things I have mentioned above are things I felt from

time to time during my previous time at Toshiba. I am very much looking forward to taking a

good look around and seeing how things have changed, or how people are trying to change

things, and to discussing these issues.

CSR Reporting Policy

2014Our effort to report on the priority issues for our stakeholders and those for Toshiba Group

In editing the CSR Report, we examine and take into consideration the issues material for both our stakeholders as well as the Group, then

verify the results using a Toshiba-specific index for determining materiality. Based on this, we have edited this CSR Report 2014 with the two

new features described below.

The 2014 edition reports on the process of identifying materiality (key issues) and incorporating them into CSR management.

Materiality for Toshiba Group

The 2014 edition reports on materiality (key issues)—Respect for Human Rights, Promotion of CSR Management in the Supply Chain andEnvironmental Management—as highlights of the year.

Key Issue: Respect for Human Rights

Key Issue: Promoting Supply Chain CSR

Key Issue: Environmental Management

Starting in FY2013, we made our website the major medium for our CSR reports; we strive to provide easy-to-understand information and

update the same in a timely manner, mainly by offering links to related information.

The CSR Report 2014 is available only from our website, which offers PDF files that can be downloaded by selecting the digest and sections to

examine.

Organizations covered in this report

In principle, Toshiba Group (Toshiba Corporation and its 598 consolidated subsidiaries in Japan and overseas) are covered in this report, but

individual entities are indicated in cases where information does not pertain to Toshiba Group.

Note:“Toshiba” in this report refers to Toshiba Corporation.

Reporting period

This report focuses on the results of activities in FY2013 (from April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014), but also includes some activities continuing

from the past as well as more recent ones.

The content of the CSR Report 2014 in PDF format is current as of the end of June 2014. Items added or updated on the CSR website after July

2014 will have notes to that effect.

Significant changes during the reporting period

In May 2013, Toshiba Finance Corporation was removed as a consolidated subsidiary as a result of all shares of the corporation being sold toAEON Financial Service Co., Ltd.

A new company (currently, Toshiba Transmission & Distribution Systems India Pvt. Ltd.) was founded to acquire the power distributiontransformer and switch business of the Indian corporation, Vijai Electricals Ltd.; the business was acquired in December 2013.

In January 2014, Toshiba Consumer Electronics Holdings Corporation was merged into Toshiba Corporation and dissolved.

Reporting Media and Disclosure Items on the Corporate Website

Toshiba Group provides our stakeholders with non-financial information in our CSR Report and financial information in our Annual Report.

Recognizing our responsibility to provide detailed non-financial information, especially on environmental issues, we also publish the

Environmental Report separately from the CSR Report.

We also provide the latest information on related matters in a timely manner through our corporate website.

Annual Report/Investor Relations (IR) Website

In the Annual Report, we primarily report on Toshiba Group's business performance as of the end of the fiscal year and on our three-year

midterm management plan.

We have referred to the IIRC's International Integrated Reporting Framework, and in order to provide information essential as an

integrated report, we have expanded nonfinantial information and the ESG section.

On the IR website, we aim to provide Toshiba's corporate information in a timely manner. An IR website optimized for mobile phone

access is also available.

Environmental Report/Environment Website

On the environment website, we provide not only information on the Group's environmental activities in a timely manner, but also

environmental reports on our production sites and Group companies.

In the Environmental Report, we provide a detailed description of the global environmental activities of Toshiba Group as a whole.

Major opinions and comments

Highlight reports are easy to understand and excellent.

The report provides a wide range of quantitative information.

The English-language edition of the CSR is currently available. When will the Chinese-language edition be available?

When will Toshiba Group start to support the fourth edition of the GRI Guidelines (G4)?

Major items improved in CSR Report 2014

We focused on respect for human rights, promotion of CSR management in the supply chain and environmental management as CSRhighlights (priority themes) and reported on these themes in easy-to-understand language based on case studies.

Since many users downloaded the entire PDF version of last year’s report (186 pages for FY2013), we made the guidance for thedigest version easier to understand.

We referred to the fourth edition of the GRI Guidelines (G4) to disclose the materiality identification process.

We improved the layout design of the PDF edition to raise assessments regarding content, design and understandability.

We improved the organization of descriptions in the section on Major Achievements and Assessments for KPIs to increase readability.
